Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sea-Weed and What We Seed: My Vacation at Long Branch and Saratoga That which we now entitle "Preface of a Book" was once known as the "Argument" - perhaps because it was held that a good deal of argument is necessary to prove that one has any right to put a book upon the public. That point I will not now argue, as the burden rests on my publishers. But perhaps I had better explain that the loose-letters, here bound and sheaved, appeared in the New York Tribune during the summer just past, under the title head of "John Paul´s Vacation." Why so labelled, I do not know, for certainly the writing of them is the only work I have done during the year. Possibly "Vacation" was a misprint for "Vocation." Indeed it seems my fate to drift round among the watering places every summer, writing letters which, in the regular course of nature, find their way into Tribunt supplements, within a month or two of being written. As before remarked, last summer´s work you have here. For all the work and wisdom that went before you must go to "John Paul´s Book," a big volume, published by a large Hartford firm at an astonishingly small price.
