Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Baby May, and Other Poems on Infants
Ten years since, "Baby May" was printed for private circulation; and I shortly after received a request from the late Mr. Douglas Jerrold that he might give it to the public in his "Shilling Magazine." It at once became a favourite. Since then it has been a pleasure to me to know that the little lady has made friends far and near} both in England and America; among whom she reckons with becoming pride, among the dead, Mary Russell Mitford, who re-introduced her to the public in her "Recollections of a Literaiy Life," - among the living, Mr. John Ruskin, Mr. Nathaniel Hawthorne, Mr. and Mrs. Howitt, and many of the leading writers of England and America.
