Coal and Candlelight, and Other Verses
Transcriber's Notes.
Every effort has been made to replicate this text as faithfully as possible. I have taken the liberty of adding an additional reference to the CONTENTS page in order to provide a direct link to the By the Same Author information at the end of the book. The indentation of the lines of the poem Coal and Candlelight reverse at lines 12/13. This is an obvious typographical error and has been corrected.
