Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Black Beetles in Amber Most of the verses in this volume are republished from newspapers and periodicals of the Pacific Coast. Natu rally, the collection includes few not relating to per sons and events more or less familiar to the people of that interesting region - to whom, indeed, the volume may be considered as especially addressed, though not with out a hope that its contents may be found to have a sufficient intrinsic interest to commend it to others. In answer to the familiar criticism that the author has dealt mostly with obscure persons, unknown to fame, he begs leave to point out that he has done what he could to lessen the force of the objection by dispelling some part of their obscurity and awarding them such fame as he was able to bestow. If the work meet with acceptance commentators will doubtless be raised up to give them an added distinction and make exposition of the circumstances through which they took attention, whereby the work will have a growing interest to those with the patience to wait.

Book excerpt: Many of the verses in this book are republished, with considerable alterations, from various newspapers. The collection includes few not relating to persons and events more or less familiar to the people of the Pacific Coast--to whom the volume may be considered as especially addressed, though, not without a hope that some part of the contents may be found to have sufficient intrinsic interest to commend it to others.
