AMUSEMENT OR APPROBATION

THEY ARE

SOLELY INTENDED;

These TRIFLES are respectfully dedicated,

BY THE

_AUTHOR_.


As these POEMS are never intended to meet the public eye, no apology
is necessary for the form in which they now appear. They are printed
merely for the perusal of a few friends to whom they are dedicated;
who will look upon them with indulgence; and as most of them were,
composed between the age of 15 and 17, their defects will be pardoned
or forgotten, in the youth and inexperience of the WRITER.
