BY CHRISTINA G. ROSSETTI. BOSTON: LITTLE, BROWN, AND COMPANY. 1906. AUTHOR'S EDITION, REVISED AND ENLARGED 1876. UNIVERSITY PRESS: JOHN WILSON AND SON, CAMBRIDGE, U.S.A. TO MY MOTHER, IN ALL REVERENCE AND LOVE, I INSCRIBE THIS BOOK. THE AUTHOR TO HER AMERICAN READERS. My little book seems scarcely to admit of prefatory words: either it will speak for itself, or all my additions must fail to speak for it. Its reappearance, however, in an American edition, gives me a welcome opportunity of acknowledging the courtesy and liberality of Messrs. Roberts Brothers, who have arranged with me and with my kind friend and publisher, Mr. Macmillan, to bring it before the American public. CHRISTINA G. ROSSETTI. LONDON CONTENTS. GOBLIN MARKET, ETC.
