A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This little volume is not presented to the world, as containing the effus Ums of a mind, revelling in the sunshine of a liberal education :but as wild flowers putting forth their humble varieties in the bleah regions of relentless penury. At the early age of tenyears the Author found himself a contributor to his ovm support from which time up to the sad visitation of Blindness, his life was a continuation of active (though not laborious) employment. At the time when his mind was most susceptible of improvement, schools were not so general, or deemed of such consequence as at the present period; indeed the only assistance he received of this nature, was, whai could be derived by an enquiring and juvenile mind, from a good old ScJ ioo Umaster, during the short space of twelve months. In justice to himself the Author considers he ought to acquaint the reader, that the usual amusements of youth, were thrown aside for the more pleasing and usejul study of self-improvement; every leisure hour, every book and every intelligent person, being eagerly sought as a prize of sterling value. The poems are decidedly his own; but three grammatical objections appeared in the work which were rectified by the author: the faults noted in the errata were not in the manuscript. Here, he would intrude one hint to the young, Tliat as tlie benefits arising from self-improvement are various, so are they pleasing and permanent, tlvey having cast a ray of light over the dark hiatus riven in his path (by the alfsence of vision,) which neither grief, nor care, nor malice can ever extinguish, The author became blind at the age of twenty-four, has since passed the same length of time, not only surrounded by darkness, but the most discouraging difficulties; deprived by penury of the common channels of knowledge and many of the most simple necessaries of life, therefore the poems here offere

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
