LONDON: J. AND D. A. DARLING, 126 BISHOPSGATE STREET. 1851.
LONDON: Printed by G. Barclay, Castle St. Leicester Sq.

As a preface in verse
Is perhaps the reverse
Of the common and so vulgar way,
It is thus I intend
Introducing my friend,
Who would fain his respects to you pay.
Of the place of his birth,
Though some snug spot on earth,
I ne'er heard, so can't tell;
