Excerpt from The Minister's Fiddle: A Book of Verse, Humorous and Otherwise
F those Who honour me by reading this book of mine should be of opinion, that there is a good deal of the incongruous about it, I can scarcely blame them, for the same idea has occurred to my own mind. I can only say, by way of apology, that the volume was not written with ohe set purpose, from beginning to end, as most books are nowadays, but written under many different circumstances, and in various moods of mind, not for any definite result at the time, but merely to please my own fancy.
