Excerpt from Buds of Spring: Poetical Remains of Augustus Foster Lyde; With Addenda For a succinct notice of the life and character, and of the Poetical Remains of Lyde, the reader is referred to the Introduction. But it is proper to say a few words upon the appearance of this little volume of poems. The title seemed proper to it, inasmuch as the pieces are the production of a mind which had not expanded into its maturity, and proper also to the season in which the volume has been introduced to the public. Like the buds of spring, the thoughts of our departed friend were just opening in their fresh and irregular beauty, and were beginning to shed around their pure and sweet and welcome fragrance. Lyde is known to all the members of the Episcopalian community, and to many in other denominations, as having been a young man of great promise.
