Books with author Tonie Campbell

Excerpt from Rhymes Roughly Rendered, and Other ScrapsThese pages were, for the most part written to relieve the tedium of the long night watches while the writer was night clerk at the Police Station, and were not intended for publication.Persuasion by perhaps too partial friends, and the necessity for obtaining a few dollars to "keep the wolf from the door," prompts me now to inflict them upon a long-suffering public.Conscious of the many defects in this little book, in style, matter and composition, it is with great diffidence that I thrust it before an intelligent community. But if it has no other merit in is hoped it will be like the yankee peddler's razors - do to sell.Claiming no literary excellence for the book, if it should serve to amuse for a short while some tired individual and incidently bring me in a few shekels, it will have accomplished all that is hoped for it. Some of the pieces in this book have been published in the local papers over the nom de plume B. L. Clampe, which is an anagram of my own name. So if in reading this book you should come across an old acquaintance do not conclude that you have run across a plagiarism it is only a reprint of one of my own compositions.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
