Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Danbury Boom: With a Full Account of Mrs. Cobleigh´s Action Therein!; Together With Many Other Interesting Phases in the Social and Domestic History of That Remarkable Village The chief (and perhaps the only) advantage of a preface is that an author can talk therein pretty much as he pleases, as there is no one to hear him. Should prefaces ever be read, then they will lose their delightful charm of seclusion, and become so much like the rest of the volume as to be either dropped altogether or incorporated with the body of the work. Imagining myself, therefore, alone at the back of the house, I proceed to express in perfect freedom the belief that whatever may be the literary merit of this, my third volume of sketches, it is a deal better than the second, as that was also a deal better than the first. I said as much of the second book when it was published, and the public confirmed the verdict in a most gratifying manner. I would bespeak for Mrs. Cobleigh the mantle of charity, if I was sure of being heard, or of her willingness to don so unfashionable a garment. An excellent woman at heart is Mrs. Cobleigh, although she may perhaps be too closely confined to her sphere. Possibly this fault is so rare as to be almost a virtue.
