Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Changed Cross, and Other Religious Poems The editor and compiler of The Changed Cross, and Other Religious Poems, the late Anson D. F. Randolph, was also the publisher of the volume. The initial poem was identified with the early history of his publishing house, and, with the exception of one or two prose volumes, the issue of this poem, printed separately, constituted his first publishing venture. As I recall the circumstances related to me by my father, he had, in looking over the religious papers, been attracted to a poem printed anonymously under the title of The Changed Cross. It appealed to his judgment as worthy of a more permanent form than that of a fugitive newspaper publication, and he printed the poem, first as a leaflet, and subsequently in a little volume containing some twenty other poems which he had selected from various sources. This little volume had from the beginning a remarkable career, and the editor found himself interested in gathering together a number of other poems similar in trend of thought and character, and in adding them to the original collection. The volume as now printed contains certain later additions, including a few poems selected from Mr. Randolph's volume of Verses. Mr. Randolph was always interested in emphasizing the undenominational character of his compilation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
