Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Eliza Cook It is with considerable pride, and more pleasure, that I now present to my readers in one volume the whole of my poems, at a price which, I hope, will be within the means of those who could not afford the purchase of my previous editions; and if I can still retain the sympathy and support of "the people" I shall be amply rewarded, and wish for no more richly-gilded laurel. I have been too long before the Public to have anything new to express or explain relative to the compositions now again tendered for their reception. I can only offer my earnest thanks for the generous patronage which has always followed the numerous editions of my works; and declare that I am still, as I ever have been, inspired alone by "love and goodwill" toward those who have so kindly helped me along my chequered path, by freely responding to my simple effusions. Let me add, that I am very happy in the assurance afforded me through that response, of many genial cars and hearts being as open to the whistle of the woodland robin, as they are to the paean of the cloud-piercing skylark.
