IN PROSE AND VERSE Third Series EDITED BY A. E. H. "Double, double, toil and trouble." MACBETH, Act IV. "Weaves weirdish webs of wit and words, To enthral the spirits of living men THE DRUIDESS, Act III. LONDON THOMAS BOSWORTH, 215 REGENT STREET 1867 290. k. 181 ** PREFACE. THE EDITORS of "Acrostics in Prose and Verse" have met with so many entreaties to provide a new supply for the amusement of the approaching winter evenings, that, though rather afraid of exhausting the patience of the public, they venture to issue another volume, which they hope may meet with as kind a reception as its predecessors. They have this time to thank several new contributors for their valuable assistance, but some apparently new initials are those of old friends, who have now begun to use their real signatures. A. E. H. November 1866. |
