York and Washington. s1.25.
The subtitle Of DR. Ross book
designates 1T as book of verse made
from a physicians pad leaflets, and in
dicates its most delightful features
its spontaneity and sincerity.
The little volume is dedicated to a
Richmond man, the friend and kinsman
of DIR. Ross, Mr. p. H. Mayo, and sew
eral of its poems arc addressed to Mrs.
Mayo, under her yerse-name of The
Queen of Clarke county"
AS DIR. Ross says in his prologue,
some of his poetry has been penned in
the spirit of pathos and some in the
spirit of fun. The verse; makers art is
alive, in each case, now with sentiment
and again with patriotic fire andSta e
pride. Here and there the minor chord
is touched tenderly and reverently, as,
when in a tribute to Hunter Mcguire,
NJ D." the author writes:
They'll bury him, whose broadening
Begirt the land and seas;
Who filled in every audience hall
a foremost place with ease
The book verses have, all of them,
evidently a personal inspiration caught
on the spot and transferred at first
effect to paper. Here, boy, hold my
reins," exclaimed DIR. Ross 10 his COL
ored driver one morning, at the corner
of Grace and Ninth Streets. Out camu
