Excerpt from The Rhymer's Family: A Collection of Bantlings
Every little publication of this sort requires to be prefaced by apology in this practical age. Poetry is the most unmarketable commodity in the world unless its author has attained a certain celebrity. A volume by an unknown poet will scarcely find a publisher. We need not wonder that the publisher of a provincial publication such as the present requires to be protected by subscription, when we consider-that a taste for poetry is not the most prevailing of the day.
