Excerpt from The Poems of George Arnold: Complete Edition, Edited, With a Biographical Sketch of the Poet The author of the poems contained in this volume was very dear to me as comrade, and so I do not pretend to speak impartially of his character and his writings. During a period of six years it was my fortune to be associated with him under a variety of circumstances, and to participate in many of his pleasures and in some of his sorrows. Not many weeks have passed, since all that was mortal of him was laid in the tomb. It may chance, therefore, that tenderness for his memory and grief for his loss will somewhat color the language of this memoir. Affection is not critical.
