Conway, or Hours of Recreation In placing these poems before the public I only do what a host of others have clone who have preceded me, with the hope that they will be treated with justice, as I am not averse to censure anymore than comment, when it comes from a highly intellectual and unprejudiced channel. While submitting them to the public I do not presume to think that they are without fault, neither do I wish it understood that I could have done better. To expect from a young man, who has not enjoyed the benefits of a common school education, a literary production without fault, when so many talented and more experienced writers of verse are treated with unmeasured contempt by the critical reviews, is unreasonable. These effusions of poesy are the first which have emanated from the present source, and probably will he the last.
