IN the simple title of "Rhymes for the Nursery," the pretensions of this little volume are fully explained. In the Nursery they are designed to circulate; and within its sanctuary walls, the writers claim shelter from the eye of criticism: though, should they appear to have admitted any sentiment, injudicious, erroneous, or dangerous, they ask not such an indulgence.

It has been questioned, by authority they respect, Whether ideas adapted to the comprehension of infancy, admit the restrictions of rhyme and metre? with humility, there

fore, the present attempt has been made: should it, however, in any degree, prove successful, the writers must certainly acknowledge themselves indebted rather to the plainness of prose, than to the decorations of poetry.
