Black Beetles in Amber by Ambrose Bierce is a collection of angry political poems fixating on figures from nineteenth-century American society. This satire provides scalding reviews of prominent political heads of government at the time. Excerpt: " I dreamed I was dreaming one morn as I lay In a garden with flowers teeming. On an island I lay in a mystical bay, In the dream that I dreamed, I was dreaming. The ghost of a scent—had it followed me there From the place where I truly was resting?"

Excerpt from Black Beetles in Amber Most of the verses in this volume are republished from newspapers and periodicals of the Pacific Coast. Natu rally, the collection includes few not relating to per sons and events more or less familiar to the people of that interesting region - to whom, indeed, the volume may be considered as especially addressed, though not with out a hope that its contents may be found to have a sufficient intrinsic interest to commend it to others. In answer to the familiar criticism that the author has dealt mostly with obscure persons, unknown to fame, he begs leave to point out that he has done what he could to lessen the force of the objection by dispelling some part of their obscurity and awarding them such fame as he was able to bestow. If the work meet with acceptance commentators will doubtless be raised up to give them an added distinction and make exposition of the circumstances through which they took attention, whereby the work will have a growing interest to those with the patience to wait.

Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce (June 24, 1842 - 1914) was an American short story writer, journalist, poet, and Civil War veteran. Bierce's book The Devil's Dictionary was named as one of "The 100 Greatest Masterpieces of American Literature" by the American Revolution Bicentennial Administration. His story "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" has been described as "one of the most famous and frequently anthologized stories in American literature"; and his book Tales of Soldiers and Civilians (also published as In the Midst of Life) was named by the Grolier Club as one of the 100 most influential American books printed before 1900.

The collection includes few not relating to persons and events more or less familiar to the people of the Pacific Coast-to whom the volume may be considered as especially addressed, though, not without a hope that some part of the contents may be found to have sufficient intrinsic interest to commend it to others. In that case, doubtless, commentators will be "raised up" to make exposition of its full meaning, with possibly an added meaning read into it by themselves. Of my motives in writing, and in now republishing, I do not care to make either defense or explanation, except with reference to those persons who since my first censure of them have passed away. To one having only a reader's interest in the matter it may easily seem that the verses relating to those might more properly have been omitted from this collection. But if these pieces, or, indeed, if any considerable part of my work in literature, have the intrinsic worth which by this attempt to preserve some of it I have assumed, their permanent suppression is impossible, and it is only a question of when and by whom they shall be republished. Some one will surely search them out and put them in circulation.
