MARY A GRAY: TALE FOR LITTLE GIRLS. BY ANNE KNIGHT. Up!-let us to the fields away, And breathe the fresh and balmy air: The bird is building in the tree, The flower has open'd to the bee, And health, and love, and peace are there! ΤΟ MARY AND SUSANNA U MY DEAR LITTLE GIRLS, To you I dedicate this little volume, because you have been frequently. my companions in country walks. We have sought together for the first sweet violet and primrose of spring; we have read together and worked together; and the pleasure I have received from your diligent application to known duties, as well as from other indications of a desire to furnish your minds with knowledge, induces me to hope that an acquaintance with my little Mary Gray will not prove disagreeable to you. |
