Btcnyans Apology. 111 conformity to the act of Congress of the United States, entitled, An net for the encobragenlelt of learning, by securing the copics of maps, charts, and bcoks, to the authors nnrl llroprietors of such copies, during the time therein mentioned. And also to the act, entitled, A11 act, supplementary to an act, entitled, an act for the encouragement of learning, by securing the copies of map, charts, and books, to the authors and proprietors of such copies, duriug the times therein mentioned, ant1 extending the lenefits thereof to arts theof designing, engraving, and etching Iistoriml and other prints. JAIES DILL, Clerk of the Southern District ofxew-York. THE author of the following pieces has been induced to publish them in a book, from considerations which cannot be inte- resting to the public. Many of these little poems have been printed in the Co, anecticut Mirror and the others are just fit to keep them company. No apologies are made, and no criticisms deprecated. Tlle common- place story of the iinportunities of friends, though it had its share in the publication, is not insisted upon but the vanity of the author, if others choose to call it such, is a natural motive, and the hopeof making a little something by it, is an honest acknorv- ledgment, if it is a poor excuse.
