Description

First published 1884. Poetess and philanthropist, Adelaide Anne Proctor was the eldest daughter of poet Bryan Waller Procter (Barry Cornwall), who was a good friend of Charles Dickens. Nearly all of her poems were in the first instance contributed to *Household Words* and *All the Year Round* and were then collected in this volume, *Legends and Lyrics.* Dickens has given a characteristic testimony to her worth. She was, he says, a friend who inspired the strongest attachments; she was a finely sympathetic woman with a great accordant heart and a sterling noble nature.
