Editors of theN orth American Review would, under the circustancoa, I have no reason to doubt, have opened its columns to a replv to the article that has led to the preparation of the following statement. But its length has forbidden my asking such a favor. All interested in the department of American literature to which the Hrsronrcu. llaoazrn belongs. must appreciate the ability with which it is conducted. and the laborious and indefatigable zeal of its Editor. in collecting and placing on its pages, teyond the reach of oblivion and loss. the scattered and perishirg materials necessary to the elucidation of historical and biographical topics. whether relating to particular localities or the country at large; and it was as gratifying as unexpected to receive the proffer. without limitation. of the use of that publication for this occasion. The spirited discussion. by eamest scholars. of special questions. although occasionally assuming the aspect of controversy. will be not only tolerated but welcomed by liberal minds.

From the Introduction: "An article in The North American Review, for April, 1869, is mostly devoted to a notice of the work published by me, in 1867, entitled Salem Witchcraft, with an account of Salem Village, and a history of opinions on witchcraft and kindred subjects. If the article had contained criticisms, in the usual style, merely affecting the character of that work, in a literary point of view, no other duty would have devolved upon me, than carefully to consider and respectfully heed its suggestions. But it raises questions of an historical nature that seem to demand a response, either acknowledging the correctness of its statements or vindicating my own. The character of the Periodical in which it appears; the manner in which it was heralded by rumor, long before its publication; its circulation, since, in a separate pamphlet form; and the extent to which, in certain quarters, its assumptions have been endorsed, make a reply imperative."
