Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hours With the Muses IT is a source of great gratification to the Author of this volume, that it has now reached a Sixth Edition. It was at first put forth with fear and trembling, yet not without hope; but the favour with which it has been received, has exceeded the writer's most sanguine dreams. It has found its way to the drawing room of the merchant, as well as to the humbler fireside of the labouring man. That it has shed some kindly influence wherever it has passed, is the author's sincere and earnest hope; and the knowledge that it had done so, would be his richest and highest reward. He is not by any means vain enough to suppose that the success of these efin sions is owing to their merits as compositions, but rather to that spirit of hope, peace, and conciliation, which he conscientiously endeavoured to infuse into them. Hoping that the few original poems added in this edition, may be found acceptable, he subscribes himself the reader's grateful servant, the author.
