TO
MY MORE THAN BROTHER,
HARLOW ROYS,
WHO AT ALL TIMES
ALIKE IN PROSPERITY AND ADVERSITY
HAS STOOD MY FRIEND,
WHO WHEN MY STEPS SEEMED RAPIDLY
DESCENDING INTO THE "DARK VALLEY"
AND
"THE RIVER" WITH THE "BOATMAN PALE"
WERE CLOSE BEFORE ME,
CHEERED ME BY HIS PRESENCE
AND HELD ME BACK BY THE GRASP OF HIS STRONG HAND,
WARM WITH LIFE AND LOVE,
IN TOKEN OF AN AFFECTION WHICH
STRONG AT FIRST,
AS YEARS PASS AND WE GROW OLDER
GROWS MORE INTENSE,
I DEDICATE THESE VOLUMES.
