Présentation de l'éditeur
Yes, I have written a book. 4 What for? And what for such a book? Why, secondarily, for fame, and money, of course. That is for myself. But primarily, to fill up a leisure space, on the score of philanthropy; that is for yourself. To be sure, what do others write books for, if not because they wish to do it. And why do they wish to do it, if not for independence, (competence I mean) and for the public good.

Just stick a pin here, and as we have met, so may we continue, good friends. As to the selection of our subject, no doubt but you will call it fitly chosen.

The evidence is at hand, to show that every page embraces more of truth than of fiction. Would, for the credit of human nature, it were shadow instead of substance. Facts, however, can be adduced on the subject matter before us which cast the most romantic romance entirely into the shade. But are you grave and an enemy to satire? Well, so are we, except in certain cases. There is a time for every thing, a subject for every style, and a style for every subject.
