A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Deab Sib :I dedicate this book to you, not merely that it may be graced with the name of one of the most eminent jurists of our country, but that, while I make mention of your private worth and elegant literary culture, I may at the same time inform my readers (loquor gloriose) that so estimable a man and so good a judge, as well of literature as of law, is my personal friend, and not ashamed to be my Maecenas. Of the first poem in the collection (which I have placed in firont chiefly because it is the longest, and furnishes a pleasant title to the volume) the plot was suggested by an incident in real life. The tale of Miralda is based on a popular legend, of which an excellent prose version may be found in Ballou s History of Cuba. I f, in my rendering of Jean Grasset scomical story of the parrot, I have taken great liberty with the French poem, I trust it will be found to have lost nothing except its prolixity and coarseness.
