Excerpt from The Hills Vale of Cleveland, and Other Poems Courteous Reader, As this Third Edition of ray Poems may be the last I shall offer to your notice, I thank you for past favours, and launch my little barque on the sea of Time, trusting it may safely reach the haven of welcome, and be found to contain a cargo of intellectual fruit good alike both for body and mind. I have studied some of the branches of science, especially Geology, and if by my humble efforts I may have been able to grasp the elementary part of that science, and place it before my readers in a concise form, so that they may the better understand how the formations of the earth take place, and perceive the great wisdom and power of God in the economy of Nature, my labour may not have been ineffective. I acknowledge my obligation to the great men of science, and return them thanks for the benefit of their research. I admire the beauties of Nature, the changing seasons are sources of delight, the spring flowers, summer sunshine, autumn fruit, and winter snow display the great Creators handiwork, and should give us cause to thank Him for all our temporal and spiritual blessings.
