PREFACE The choice, in any case, as we began by saying, will probably be entirely pleasing to no one, least of all to ourselves. A word or two about the plan of arrangement may not be amiss. The traditional chronological or alphabetical systems seemed to have little in their favor, and the temptation to abandon both was irresistible. We have, therefore, attempted a grouping by subjectmatter, a method which has its obvious weakness; but which we cannot help believing is the one best adapted to this kind of anthology. Readers who are hunting some particular poem will find no difficulty in tracing it through the indexes. ANDOVER, MASSACHUSETTS C. M. F. H. C. S.
