Excerpt from Tales in Verse This volume is not for the Critic. I do not say that it is not for Review. Such preface needs explanation, and perhaps apology. I give the latter first, having no quarrel with Critics or Reviewers. Those of either class who have noticed my previous work have given it its full due, Often more than its due and when the genuine Critic has taken it in hand, I have always found that the flaws pointed out were apparent from his point of view. I am not myself a professional critic of poetry, but a somewhat desultory student. Still, one who has written in rhythm for more than.

Excerpt from Old Christmas and Other Kentucky Tales in Verse The following poems are the fruit of a visit made some four years ago to the Kentucky Cumberlands and other parts of the Southern Appalachian system. I had planned to spend a summer month or two in that remote region, which I had always wished to explore, and which had recently been rendered doubly attractive by reports of numbers of old English and Scottish ballads surviving there by oral tradition; but, having contracted "mountain fever," in the-course of my travels on foot and on horseback, I remained nearly six months, or from about the first of June till before Christmas. How much further I should have prolonged what had already become largely a "technical" convalescence, I cannot say, if the rough little county seat, where I was then living, had not burned. Losing practically everything I had in the fire, I was forced to beat a retreat. The length and the conditions of my stay in the hill country gave me an unusual opportunity to become acquainted with the life and character of the mountain people, about whom, perhaps, more has been written, and less actually known, than about any other on the continent. It used to be the theory of historians like John Fiske, that they are the descendants of Scotch-Irish settlers.
