Illustrations by Huntington, Darley, Rossiter, Cushman, and Osgood. An edited collection of Osgood's worked, published before her death: "This collection of my Poems has been made from my previous publications and MSS. by a litererary friend, to whom I intrusted their selection and arrangement, and the supervision of the press. Upon looking it over, I observe that it embraces some pieces which my maturer taste would have rejected, as too trifling in character or unfinished in execution; while others are omitted which I would more willingly have had inserted."
