Maude: Prose and Verse

The MS. of the tale presents a few slight revisions, made at some much later date perhaps about 1870, or 1875. I daresay that Christina may, tow ards 1850, have offered the tale here or there for publication, but have no particular recollection as to that point. In now at last publishing it, I am not under any misapprehension regarding the degree of merit which it possesses. I allow it to be in all senses a juvenile performance ;but I think it is agreeably written, and not without touches of genuine perception and discernment. Most of the poems I rate high.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
