Project Gutenberg 2010-08-25 Public domain in the USA. 219 Parkerson, James The Convict's Farewell: with Advice to Criminals, before and after Trial Transcribed from the early 1800’s edition by David Price. Many thanks to Norfolk and Norwich Millennium Library, UK, for kindly supplying the images from which this transcription was made "The Convict's Farewell: with Advice to Criminals, before and after Trial" by J. Parkerson, Jun. is a poetic work written in the early 19th century. This piece serves as both a farewell from a convict and a moral guide aimed at individuals entangled in criminal activities. The book reflects the sentiments and struggles faced by those on the brink of punishment and offers insights into the consequences of a life of crime. In "The Convict's Farewell," the narrator expresses deep regret and sorrow for the course that led him to be separated from his family due to imprisonment. He recounts his past happiness and the mistakes that led him astray, including a life influenced by gambling and poor choices. Throughout the verses, he shares poignant reflections on the importance of virtue, the dangers of vice, and the need for repentance. The latter part of the text shifts to offering advice to others, urging them to avoid criminal behavior, embrace the truth, and seek redemption through faith and moral integrity. The narrative ultimately serves as both a personal lament and a cautionary tale for those who may follow a similar path.
