Mr. Browning, in a short preface to this pretty little volume, describes it thus: “Not a single piece here belongs to the Selection already issued, which was, perhaps a fair sample of the ground’s ordinary growth; this, such as it may prove, contentedly looks pale beside the wonderful flower-show of my illustrious predecessor—dare I say, my dear friend?—who will take it, all except the love in the gift, at a mere nosegay’s worth.”
