Those who have never attempted to search for Verses appropriate for insertion in Autograph Albums, or for Anniversary Occasions,may deem this little book a super- fluous addition to the literature of the day ; but the un- happy wight who has been requested to fill a page in the Album of some fair friend, and ransacks volume after volume in vain for suitable lines, will, in most AI cases, testify to the embarrassment experienced in ob^ taining just what is wanted, especially if he be at all fastidious in making his selection. It is exactly this difficulty that generally causes Col- lections of Album-Verses to be so meagrely supplied with quotations really adapted to the purpqse ; and they usually include much hackneyed matter, whose want of originality results in disappointment equally to Album writers and Album owners. The very large proportion of Original Verses, written ,, on purpose for this work, must confer upon it, it<i$^ claimed, special advantages in regard to both noveltj|^: and aptitude ; and, moreover, the selected piece^ hf^| 96258 4 PREPACK, ing been gathered from a very wide and almost un- trodden field of literature, may be said to claim in a great degree all the freshness of originality. The Acrostic Verses, all entirely original, present, in addition to their legitimate object, a glossary of feminine nameS) with their derivation and signification, that will compare more than favorably with those given in the Standard Dictionaric oc other compendious works. The Verses adapted for Dedication, Presentations, Birthday, Wedding, and other Anniversaries, as well as the Valentines, have been, with few exceptions, written expressly for this book ; they are strikingly appropriate, and abound ixi beauty of sentiment and wittiness of ex- pression. > With these no small adv;Lutages,this bookis unhesitat« ingly commended to the appreciation of all Album writers ; and, through them, to the most discriminating and exacting portion of an intelligent public.

One of the most appropriate gifts that can be chosen for presentation to a lady is an album, in which may be gath- ered and preserved permanent mementos of her valued friends. The gift may be rendered still more pleasing ifit contain an autograph dedication ; by this means the donor may possibly secure the enviable distinction ofbeing first in the book, first in the field, and first in the heart of the fair recipient. A dedication may consist merely of a few simple words, depending to some extent on the degree of intimacy exist- ing between the donor and recipient ; or a more decided form may be adopted, such as in the following original verses: DEDICATION FOR AN ALBUM. Here to these fair white pages soon will come Friends, with their admiration warm and fervent Lovers who needs must write, their tongue being dumb Kinsfolk who ever petted you ; and some Admiring writer, like your humble servant. And some will quo'-e from poets ; some will write Verses themselves—such verses. Heaven defend us ! And some will show their sense of proud delight By phrases sweet and words of length tremendous ; : ; S OniGINAL DEDICATORY VEiRSBS.
