In bespeaking for his humble verses the charity which they need, the Author desires to state that most of them were prompted by a journey in Turkey in Europe, that strange border land of the East,-a land literally filled with 'Echoes from the Orient.' A popular Roumanian legend has furnished the foundation for 'The Sorrow of Manol.' The Miscellaneous Poems have appeared in ‘Scribner's Monthly,' the · Boston Journal,' and other American publications. |
