[I have removed page numbers; all italics are emphasis only.]

Note: I have omitted running heads and have closed contractions,
e.g. "she 's" becoming "she's"; in addition, on page 180, stanza 3,
line 1, I have changed the single quotation mark at the beginning
of the line to a double quotation mark.

STEP BY STEP;

OR

TIDY'S WAY TO FREEDOM.

"Woe to all who grind
Their brethren of a common Father down!
To all who plunder from the immortal mind
Its bright and glorious crown!"
