Dedication: Dedicated to the memory of my husband, The Rev. James Scott, D.D., of St. Andrew's Church, Hobart, Tasmania
-
Author's note: These verses [are] put before the public with much diffidence. They were mostly written during the stress and anxieties of bringing up a large family, and amidst the many cares and hospitalities of a Colonial Manse. They may appeal to the hearts of some, especially of those who are going down the hill of life; therefore are they sent on their mission of love and consolation.
