INTRODUCTION. 



is but the uplifting of the eye to the footstool of the 

 Creator. 



As we began, so let us end, in the soulful poem, 



" Were I in churchless solitudes remaining, 



Far from all voice of teachers and divines, 

 My soul would find, in flowers of God's ordaining, 

 Priests, sermons, shrines." 



GLEN KIDGE, April, 1863.
