THE CONVICT'S APPEAL.

“Have I any pleasure at all, that the wicked should die? saith the Lord God; and not that he should return from his ways, and live?” Ezekiel, c. 18, v. 23.



THE FOLLOWING PAGES ARE RESPECTFULLY INSCRIBED TO JAMES MONTGOMERY: NOT ONLY IN CONSEQUENCE OF THEIR ORIGINAL INSERTION IN THE SHEFFIELD IRIS, BUT BECAUSE THE OBJECT THEY ARE DESIGNED TO PROMOTE, (The Amelioration of our Criminal Code,) MAY BE MATERIALLY ASSISTED BY THE EFFORTS OF A Poet, WHOSE TALENTS HAVE BEEN CONSPICUOUSLY DEVOTED TO THE BEST INTERESTS AND TRUEST HAPPINESS OF MANKIND.
