EXTRACTED TEXT FROM PAGE:
(Greeting O forth, O little volume, Upon the untried sea, And we will let the world decide What then your fate shall be. Go take the place of Sophograph, T h a t craft that once had fame, Now wrecked and stranded on the rocks, All vanished but its name. You are a stranger in our port, And critics' eyes must bear, And of the scorn which comes from them, Prepare to take your share. Our friends will please examine you With somewhat kindly eye, For it is they who must decide Whether you live or die. And if upon a judgment fair, # You're found a faulty craft, We'll bid farewell to ILLIO; Revive the Sophograph. 5
