    'This little volume has been printed for circulation among my brother Philip Lorimer's surviving relatives and old associates, who have expressed a desire to possess a memento of him.

    The Songs and Verses have been selected from a mass of manuscript and printed cuttings mostly preserved by himself, and I have to thank Mr. E. A. Petherick for the interesting biographical sketch which he has compiled from private letters, newspaper paragraphs, and the recollection of Philip's friends.
