Excerpt from Hours With My Lyre

In presenting this volume to the public, a few words may not be out of place, as it regards the history of the author. Suffice it to say that he was born in Philadelphia, was a son of Samuel W. Rush, who was educated at the University of Pennsylvania for the legal profession, his mother being the accomplished daughter of the late Hon. Edwin Rees, of Mississippi; and grandfather of the author, William Rush, the first American sculptor.

The author does not refer to these facts in the way of any vain boast, nor for the purpose of ingratiating himself into public favor upon the celebrity of others; on the contrary, he thinks and believes that every man should be judged by his own personal merits, and the good opinion of the world in his case be founded entirely on the man's own good behavior in life.

The Lyre is a collection of miscellaneous poems, divided into two departments - prose and poetry - consisting of odes, sonnets, celebrated characters, places of general interest, and historical sketches.

The book is also comprehensive, replete with interest, embracing the charm of a novel without its deleterious influence, romance or fiction.

The Lyre is devoted to truth, simplicity and cultivated reading. It cannot fail to please the most capricious fancy, and is adapted to suit the taste of all kind of readers.

We should encourage the works of an author where some substantial good is done, and select such books that ennoble and elevate the mind? The most works of fiction and light literature are only exciting and sensational at the best, with their imaginary griefs and sorrows and overdrawn pictures of human life.
