The years covered by this book
seem to have embraced a period
much more devoted to poetic en-
deavor than the present one, and
the poems were published widely III
the public press and received more
than passing mention, in fact, the
Washington Post and the AieXan-
dria Gazette sometimes gave col
umns of their editorial pages over
to a critical review of such works

tions would shock any metropolitan
city editor of today and some of the
stories would not even escape the
office goat of the most fanciful Sun

H. Ingersoll in 1899, the Post gives
more than two columns directly fol-
lowing the masthead of the paper
in editorial notice of the passing Of
this nationally known figure.
Another page of more than pas
sing interest to the AleXandrians of
today is the one which contains a
letter bearing the date of July 3,
1898, written by Miss Lucy Graves
on board the U. s. S. State of
Texas, then in Cuban waters. Miss
Graves at that time was in the
American Red Cross Service.
This book is far too interesting
to be laid aside with only this brief
notice so from time to time the
Gazette will contain extracts from
it which may prove to be of as
much Interest," TO the readers of the
paper now as the ydid on the occa-
sion of their first publication.
