Essays and Verses: a Souvenir John Harrington Edwards

This little volume contains a selection from papers written in later life, after a serious break in health which has ever since greatly limited working ability; but they may be of some interest or use to friends of the writer. A ny reader who finds anything of value in these pages will forthwith be ranked as a friend. Several of the papers have appeared in Reviews. The verses were mostly pencilled to relieve the tedium of sanatorium life, yet have found place in estimable periodicals, and have met with requests for their reproduction in accessible form. The term Essays in the title is not to be taken too strictly. If the book deserved a formal dedication, it would be heartily inscribed to the one who has made the afternoon of life everything a happy home could assure.
