Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works, Vol. 18: Revised Corrected by the Author, With an Introductory Preface This work was published many years ago anonymously, and received at that time the name of "Delaware; or, the Ruined Family." Thanks to the exertions of that most spirited publisher, Mr. Cadell, it had fully as much success as I could have anticipated: the whole edition, which, if I remember right, was a large one, having been sold, though the utmost good faith was preserved as to the authorship, and not a whisper ever circulated as to its being the production of a well-known writer. I have very few of those facts which critics are accustomed, in a sneering mood, to call "interesting revelations," to state regarding the present work; and therefore I will confine myself to the explanation of two points, which the reader may wish accounted for - namely, why I at first thought fit to publish the work anonymously, and why I have in this edition altered the title. Strange as it may seem, my object in writing anonymously was to humour my own mind. Every man has his oddities, and every mind its absurdities; but I think I can, in this instance, make the reader understand how it is that, if I had written the work without a full determination of withholding my name, it would have been a very different work from that which it now is, and from that which I intended it to be.
