Excerpt from Hymns for Little Children The title of this little book shows it to be of a kind which stands in as small need as any of preface or explanation. Children, and those in terested in children will feel at once whether it suits them or not. These few lines, however, are prefixed, because the writer of the Hymns wished for some kind of clerical imprimatur, and the Clergyman to whom she applied, thinks and hepes that they will not only be found useful in the way which she earnestly desires, but will also win a high place for themselves in the estima tion of all who know how to value true poetry and primitive devotion. It seems right to add, that the profits of the publication, if any, will be applied to the support of a school for deaf and dumb children main tained altogether by voluntary offerings, in a small town in the north of Ireland.
