BY CORNWALL BAYLEY

Edited by D.M.R. Bentley

AT the request of his friends, and willing to oblige where a compliment was so generously intended, the author of the following “Bagatelles,” commits them to the press. Should they chance to travel beyond the circle of his acquaintance, he can only entreat the candid reader to make allowances for the inexperience of a Youth (he may almost say a School-boy); and more particularly to overlook the errors in his Poem on Canada, which he had not an opportunity of correcting.
QUEBEC, February 1806. [Page 5]
