PREFACE.

THE contents of this little volume, the result of leisure moments during the past summer, were collected partly to indulge a taste for poetry, but chiefly for the amusement of intimate friends; and it is only at their urgent request that it is thus allowed to go before the public.

Boston, December, 1850.
