This volume the first poetical venture to which I have entrusted a hope of success, for the sake of Poetry alone seems to require a few words of introduction. In collecting the effusions of four or five years for publication in a form which has the semblance of permanence, however much it may lack the necessary vital spirit, I have been aware of the great inequality of merit among the poems chosen. The Rhymes of Travel, which give expression to thoughts and emotions inspired by my journey in Europe, are the earliest I have thought proper to include. They are faithful records of my feelings at the time, often noted down hastily by the wayside, and aspiring to no higher place than the memory of some pilgrim who may, under like circumstances, look upon the same scenes.
