Leedle Yawcob Strauss, and Other Poems

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. IT is with some misgivings that the author, at the solicita tion of many, perhaps over-zealous friends, has ventured to place this little volume before the public. The writer, moving only in the mercantile world, feels that he hasowan dered into forbidden ground, and craves the indulgence of the literati for these attempts to woo the Muse during the few leisure hours allowed to members of his vocation.
