PREFACE
This little volume has been compiled for mothers and is lovingly offered as a tribute to the memory of the almost perfect mother whose love cradled my own childhood so sweetly as to make all motherhood forever more dear to me.
It seems to be true that the years of a woman's life that sink deepest into her heart and are fraught with her keenest joy and pain are the years when her little children are clinging about her skirts. Then it is that she is truly wealthy with small cares, and small hands clinging to her knees.
But then, too, she is often too busy with the passing of the full days and the long nights, so often punctuated by the restless clinging of rosy fingers and all the dear demands of babyhood, to realize fully how blest are the days through which she is living.
It is especially for the busy mother that I have gathered this little collection of beautiful thoughts about childhood and motherhood, from some of the world's best thinkers.
I hope it may bring to some of them as much pleasure in the reading as it has to me in the preparation.
The selections from the writings of Lucy Larcom, Holmes, Whittier, Longfellow, Emerson, Lowell, Celia Thaxter, and Edith Thomas are used by the courteous permission of the authorized publishers of these writers, the Houghton Mifflin Company.
The selections from the writings of Robert Louis Stevenson are from A Child's Garden of Verses.
The selection from Sidney Lanier is taken from The Poems of Sidney Lanier.
Both are published by Charles Scribner's Sons and the selections are used by permission of that firm. The little poem from Eugene Field is also used by special arrangement with Charles Scribner's Sons, the authorized publishers of the works of Eugene Field.
The selections from the book called The Finest Baby in the World
are used by the courtesy of its publishers, the Fleming H. Revell Company.
The selection from Ruth McEnery Stuart is taken from Napoleon Jackson,
published by the Century Company, and is used with their permission.
The selection from the writings of Lewis Carroll is taken from the Adventures of Alice in Wonderland
and is used by permission of the publishers, the Macmillan Company.
Acknowledgment is also made to the Bobbs-Merrill Company for the use of the selections from the writings of James Whitcomb Riley, and to D. Appleton & Co. for the selections from Bryant.
Acknowledgment is due the courtesy of the New York Sun and the Denver News for the use of the selections credited to them.
An effort has been made to find the name and the author of each selection used so that proper credit could be given with each. This has not been always possible and I have chosen not to leave out a beautiful selection on that account.
George MacDonald says, He who drops a beautiful thought into the heart of a friend gives as the angels do
; and Emerson says that Next to the originator of a beautiful thought is the one who first quotes it.
