Dedication
DEDICATION.
To the many friends in many places who have cheered my life by their kindness, and to the memory of him whose name I bear, this book is inscribed.
To you whose partial friendship has demanded the book, I commend it, assured that your love will cover its faults, it is but the aftermath of a busy life, that has been reaped close by the hand of care, leaving small space for the growth of the flowers of poesy. If for my sake you find pleasure in it, and if it awakens in any heart a desire to honor God and to bless the world by a high and holy life, my highest ambition will be satisfied. VIENNA G. RAMSEY.
