Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Pencillings by the Way: Written During Some Years of Residence and Travel in Europe A word or two of necessary explanation, dear reader. I had resided on the Continent for several years, and had been a year in England, without being suspected, I believe, in the societies in which I lived, of any habit of authorship. No production of mine had ever crossed the water, and my Letters to the New-York Mirror, were (for this long period, and I presumed would be forever), as far as European readers were concerned, an unimportant and easy secret. Within a few months of returning to this country, the Quarterly Review came out with a severe criticism on the Pencillings by the Way, published in the New-York Mirror. A London publisher immediately procured a broken set of this paper from an American resident there, and called on me with an offer of £300 for an immediate edition of what he had - rather less than one half of the Letters in this present volume. This chanced on the day before my marriage, and I left immediately for Paris - a literary friend most kindly undertaking to look over the proofs, and suppress what might annoy any one then living in London.
