Excerpt from Poetry of the Age of Fable This book is intended to be read in connection with the former volume of the same author, - the Age of Fable. But it may be read independently by those who have already some acquaintance with mythology, or, in place thereof, with such help as the conversation of a parent or elder brother or sister may supply. It is hoped that the collection of so many gems of fancy from the whole range of British and American poets will afford gratification, as well as instruction, to the reader.
