Excerpt from Orange Blossoms: Poems

These poems are the productions of one who, apart from the busy cares of life, has sought to improve the leisure moments which have been his lot to enjoy in the world.

Many of them have before appeared in print, having been published in some of the periodicals in years past, but he now offers them to the public in a collected form - a volume which he trusts will be acceptable to his friends, and to all those who may read them. If such be the case, he will feel amply repaid for the time and labor he has devoted in writing and publishing them in their present form.
