''Introduction'' is a poem written by [[Arthur Conan Doyle]] published in his handwritten magazine [[The Feldkirchian Gazette]] (Vol. II, november 1875).

== Introduction ==

<poem>
Where the seething waves of ocean
In their fierce contention roll,
From the rockbound northern limits
To the frozen southern pole,
There is one great power that sways us
Agent mighty and sublime,
One dread weapon that dismays us
Reverenced in every clime.
Tyrant kings have oft denied it,
Soon their fears they must confess,
None, who ever yet have tried it,
Faced "the freedom of the press".
Misused it is a fearful demon,
Used well, the blessing of mankind.
Sure protection every freeman
"Neath it's friendly shade may find.
May we justly use our powers,
May the weak our pages bless,
And the mighty dread our paper,
And the freedom of the press.
</poem>
