Rhymes for the Nursery

Paperback (Forgotten Books June 9, 2012)
In the simple title of Rhymes for theN ursery, the pretensions of this, little volume are fully explained. In theN ursery they are designed to circulate, and within its sanctuary walls the writers claim shelter from the eye of critidsm; though, should they appear to have admitted any sentiment injudicious, erroneous, or dangerous, they ask not such an indulgence. It has been questioned by authority they respect, whether ideas adapted to the comprehension of infancy admit the restrictions of rhyme and metre? With humility, therefore, the present attempt has been made: should it, however, in any degree prove successful, the writers must certainly acknowledge themselves indebted rather to the plainness of prose, than to the decorations of poetry.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
