Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Stray Leaves: From the Port-Folio of a Methodist Local Preacher The Author insists that the Editor say a word to the Public, to introduce the "Stray Leaves." But there is little need. The narratives here brought together, are not altogether new to the Author´s many friends; and it is at their solicitation that they were first committed to paper, and, now, to type. The name and fame of the "Strange Preacher," the love entertained for the "Wandering Arab," the interest already awakened in the "Stray Leaves," by what is known of them by the numberless friends of the Author, will guarantee this book a circulation, without a word from the Editor to stimulate it. It is proper to say, that the Editor has been embarrassed, from the large amount of matter put into his hands with the responsible privilege of following his own judgment, in selecting from it the best material for the contemplated volume. As part of the purpose of the Author was, very properly, to get some pecuniary profit from his book, thus to repair the heavy losses of the war, its cost was to be considered; and had all the material put into the Editor´s hands been used, the book would have been too bulky to be remunerative. In making the selection, the Editor has been compelled to follow his own judgment; and he may, therefore, have left out some "Leaves" which both the Author and his friends would have preferred inserted. If so, the full discretion given him by the Author must be his warrant; and the peculiarities of his own taste and judgment must bear the responsibility.
