of her leisure Moments. She had no
Intention ever to have published them;
nor would they now have made their
Appearance, but at the Importunity of
many of her best, and most generous
Friends; to whom she considers herself,
as under the greatest Obligations.

As her Attempts in Poetry are now
sent into the World, it is hoped the
Critic will not severely censure their
Defects; and we presume they have too
much Merit to be cast aside with Con-
tempt, as worthless and trifling Effu-
sions.
As to the Disadvantages she has la-
boured under, with Regard to Learn-
ing, nothing needs to be offered, as her
Master's Letter in the following Page
will sufficiently show the Difficulties in
this Respect she had to encounter.

With all their Imperfections, the
Poems are now humbly submitted to
the Perusal of the Public.



The following is a Copy of a LETTER sent
by the Author's Master to the Publisher.
