Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue.

For ever loved, revered my hearts first friend, Tender as love itself, and true as truth, I would that men might see thee with my eyes, Know thee as I have known then should fames wreath (B ound on thy brows of yore) new semblance take And show thee halod with celestial light! Yet I who know thee best, and have enshrined Thy virtues in my soul, shall feeblest prove To speak how dear thy worth !T hat which has been Most noble in thee never can be known. Oloving lips, long silent in the grave, Gould but the old life warm them for a space, How would they echo now my poor applause! And oh, if this adventurous pen can boast The transcript of one pure intent, true thought Or generous aspiration, unto thee A lone be praise !A ll good my life can show Is of thy teaching, and in offering thee This lowly tribute of my grateful love, God knows I give thee but thine own again !D edication of Leaves from the Olive Mount.
