Epigraph

The Search After Happiness: A Pastoral Drama

"To rear the tender thought,

"To teach the young idea how to shoot,

"To pour the fresh instruction o'er the mind

"To breathe th' enliv'ning Spirit, and to fix

"The gen'rous Purpose in the Female breast." Thompson

Sir Eldred of the Bower, and the Bleeding Rock: Two Legendary Tales

"Of them who, wrapt in Earth so cold,

No more the smiling day shall view,

Shou'd many a tender tale by told,

For many a tender thought is due." Langhorne
