Excerpt from The Complete Poems of John D. Conway, or Hours of RecreationIn placing these poems before the public I oa do what a host of others have done who have preceded me with the hope that they will be treated with justice, as I am not averse to censure any more 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 enioyed the benefits of a common school education, a literary pro duction without fault, when so manv 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 be the last. In the production of this book, I had more to contend with.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
