Excerpt from The Vale of Esk: And Other Poems
The following pieces of verse, several of which have already been printed in various periodicals, were written by a person of small pretensions to learning, or natural abilities, and only during intervals of relaxation from manual labour. The writer is at the same time aware, that with these circumstances his readers have no concern, and that his productions must stand or fall by their own merits or defects. He presents them to the Public, trusting that, however faulty they may be in other respects, they will be found to contain nothing which can either hurt the feelings of individuals, or injure the interests of religion and morality.
