BY JULIA HATFIELD, In the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States, for the Eastern District of New York. ALVORD, PRINTER. PUBLISHERS NOTICE. IN a volume intended to do honor to our Veteran Poet, and to gratify his hosts of friends and admirers with sketches of his home-life in connection with themes from his works, any publisher might take pride in placing his imprint. For the plan, the matter, and the manner of this work, we cannot claim credit, as they belong alone to its author: our responsibility being limited to that of our own vocation. |
