Excerpt from A Quaker Love Story, and Other Poems The following Quaker Love Story, told first by the hero ine nearly sixty years ago, and now retold in verse, has, I fear, little to recommend it but its simplicity and truthful ness; A certain sweet New Testament plainness - to bor row one of Charles Lamb's inimitable expressions - having always been a distinguishing characteristic of the Friends. The greater number of the remaining poems have already appeared in The Scribner, Century, Current, Independent, Christian Union, Weekly Magazine, and other publications of the day.
