Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sonnets Other Poems The compiler of this volume, a short time since, announced his intsu tion to publish a volume of Selections, in Poetry and Prose, from the Writings of william lloyd garrison. On examination, he found a much greater amount and variety of Poetry than be anticipated and being impressed with a conviction that Mr. Garrison's numerous friends and admirers would be glad to see it in a separate volume, for cheap cir culation, as well as embodied in a larger work, he has ventured to pub lish it in its present form. For the publication of these Poems, Mr. Garrison is not otherwise responsible than in having kindly given his consent to it, for the personal gratification of his friends. They are simply the unstudied effusions of hours given to relaxation from the arduous labors arising from his con nexion with the Anti Slavery Enterprise and were written without any thought of their being collected together in a volume. Having made no pretensions, therefore, to be considered a Poet, he may justly claim to be measured by his own standard, rather than by that of the critic. In the judgment of the compiler, however, the contents of this volume will not only bear the test of candid criticism, but secure for the author an honor able place among the Poets of our country.
