Excerpt from Poems, Essays, and Sketches: Comprising the Principal Pieces From Her Complete Works

In offering a volume to the public, the general custom is to give what is considered the best pieces the first place in it. But in submitting this collection of my mother's works to the public, I have arranged it so that the pieces may appear as nearly as possible in the order in which they were given to the public by herself; and as the critics give it as their opinion that her third and last volume was the best, so the best pieces will be the last.

After the ably written biographical papers to be found in the first pages of this volume, it would be superfluous for me to say anything in the same line. Having been my mother's amanuensis, I may say that when I wrote a piece from her dictation, and afterwards read it over to her, she rarely made a correction on it. When her books were being printed, although unable from want of sight to read a line, she never would allow any one but herself to make any corrections on the proofs. I read them; she sat and listened, and an alteration of a word or a syllable from her own she would detect at once. She said if her writings possessed any merit, it would be her own; and if there were blemishes in them, they, too, would be her own.

It was a source of much gratification and pleasure to my mother to hear of the favourable reception accorded to her literary efforts by the critics and the public. I never heard her express a wish that they might be praised for their poetical genius; but I have often heard her wish from her heart that they might be blessed to at least some of her class in a social, moral, and spiritual sense.
