Oh, world, as God has made it! all is beauty;
And knowing this, is Love, and Love is Duty.

PREFACE.

As an introduction to one of the loveliest spirits as well as one of the foremost writers of the nineteenth century— a writer whose finest creations are an unknown land to the great bulk of our population, this little book is sent forth. It is issued at a price which brings it within the reach of all, that thousands by its influence may be led to drink of the fountain by which we have been refreshed, and to rest beneath the shade where we have heard echoes of the voice of God. Should this end be realised, our reward will be great and our joy yet greater.

ROBERT P. DOWNES.
