MY CRITICS,
IN APPRECIATION
OF THE KIND MANNER
IN WHICH THEY HAVE REVIEWED
MY FORMER BOOKS,
I DEDICATE
THIS WORK.

If marriages are made above,

They're oft unmade by man below,

There should be trust, and joy, and love,

If marriages are made above;

But should Heav'n mate a hawk and dove,

Such match unequal breeds but woe,

If marriages are made above,

They're oft unmade by man below.
