Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Reciter's Treasury of Verse, Serious and Humorous While seeking to maintain a standard of excellence in the choice of the various items of the Treasury, I have also endeavoured to provide for the tastes of those who prefer to recite what are called popular pieces. With this purpose in View, I have included many well-known selections. Some of the longer poems are intended primarily for reading exercises rather than for recitation. Large as is the number of the pages of this work, I have of necessity been obliged to omit many admirable poems which I should have liked to reprint. In some few instances permission has been refused, whilst in others it has been found impossible to communicate with the respective Authors. For this latter reason, I much regret that no example of Mr. Algernon C. Swinburne's genius is included. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
