Poetical Works of James Madison Bell

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. I therefore take great pleasure In introducing to the members of the commonwealth of letters, J. Madison Bell, The Bard of the Maumee. It was my pleasure and privilege to give a helping hand to Whitman's Not a Man and Yet a Man, but in this introduction it gives me greater pleasure than I possess language to express.
