A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Wxt Uu, An observance of the hand of God in his providences, as well as of his Spirit in the written Word and in tlie human lieart, has led to tlie publication of tliis boolc. Though more than twenty years have passed since Miss Joii Nsox died, lier name is like an ointment poured fortli. Many wlio never knew lier personally seem to know her well from her poetic writings :for as fragrance to the sense of smell, music to tlie ear, or beauty to the eye, so is poetry to the sensibilities of tlie heart, it ministers to a want of our intellectual nature ;tills is the secret of I ts i:)ower and the pledge of its perpetuity. A IG mo volume of her Poems was published in Boston, in 1855, but has long been out of print. In 1864 the Rev. E. H. Dewart published in Montreal a work entitled Selections from Canadian Poets, in which ten of her poems were inserted and a very ajipreciative notice of her given. She also wrote for several papers, so that in various ways her thoughts have been widely disseminated. A desire has often been expressed to have them collected into one volume; but to have all thus republished would not be best. I have therefore attempted only what the title indicates to make select lonsfrom her writiwjs ;and conclude to send them forth under a name which she herself chose at a time when she had thoughts of getting out a book.
