Excerpt from Poems

I thank you heartily for your kindly appreciation of my poetical efforts, which has again tempted me to gather the fragments together and publish a new edition.

You who perform the same exacting and ever increasing duties often wonder how I manage to find time for poetical composition. Therefore, I value your sympathy, which, by being founded on the knowledge of my difficulties, is genuine and sincere.

I am sure it must be as amusing to you as it is to me to hear or read the thoughts of the critics among the public, who think they know every thing, but must necessarily know very little of the real life of a policeman, as they picture me Spending my days walking alone and musing among the woods and quiet country lanes It is a beautiful picture, but what a pity it is that it is not a true one.

And now, my readers, I commend my little volume to your care, and trust that you will find as much pleasure in your reading of the pieces as I found in composing them.
