Description
Excerpt from Random Reveries of a Busy Barrister
Adverse criticism is Often helpful and always painful, but he who reads an entire book, to eriti cise or condemn it, being the greater sufferer, is entitled to compensation in kind. Let him have it. He will, anyway, for nothing inserted here will either curb him or the public, unless we all agree to cry quits and be happy ever after.
The author professes only a ?irting acquaintance, Of short duration, with the muses, the omega Of a forty-year service in a profession where sentiment succumbs to statute and rhyme to reason. If others passing through the valley and shadow can gather from the following simple but heartfelt stanzas some Of the golden sunshine that pierced the clouds under which they were written, this labor Of love will not have been in vain.
