Book excerpt: Excerpt from Legends, Ballads, and Songs of the Lee If welcome, then, to our own fireside, how thrilling to the heart of the exile must be the chronicles of home, if pining on the arid sands of India, or snowed up in a log-cabin through the long American winter, when the events of the Beautiful City and the legends of her sparkling river are brought before his vision; causing, at one moment, the merry ringing laugh at some quaint remembrance, or the silent tear of regret when he thinks, mayhap, of his distant home and the moss grown graveyard, where rest the bones of his venerated ancestors. If this little volume has accomplished but one-half the foregoing, what its writer sincerely wishes, he is repaid, and its mission is fulfilled.
