"Most off the poems were written with no other hope, than that they would instruct or please some child. The pleasure they have given in a limited circle, has tempted the writer to print them. Some have never before appeared in public, but most of them have been already published in different works--some few, without the author's knowledge"--Preface to the first American Edition.
