ENTERED according to Act of Congress, in the year 1861, by A. E. NEWMAN, In the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States for the Southern District of New York. AON 1923 PREFACE. GENTLE READER, we parted on the Emerald Isle, with the promise to renew the tale of my wanderings through 'sunny France;" and I hereby redeem my "plighted vow." The first volume of the LEAFLETS having been received with so much favor, I am encouraged to publish a second volume in the contemplated series. Conscious of my indebtedness to an intelligent public, which, in our country, is ever ready to cherish the buddings of genius, and look indulgently upon the defects of beginners, I return my most sincere thanks for the manifestation of such favors. My expectations are fully realized, and I take the past as a promise for the future. The most brilliant intellect, and the rarest literary attainments, cannot compensate for the want of practical experience in the art and science of book-making. The author's task is not accomplished when he has drawn the last line LANSFER FROM C. V. |
