MY DEAR BROTHER ALBERT:--

Here is a sentence from Lamb about some lines written under a "full length" of David Garrick in the Abbey: "It would be an insult to my readers' understanding to attempt anything like a criticism on this farrago of false thoughts and non-sense." Sometimes I have felt like saying just this about the volume before you.

The desire to make a book has at last overcome me, and this farrago is the result. Where I have been cheerful, you may attribute it to good digestion, if you like; and where I have been gloomy, to anything else that pleases you.

I hope, as you doubtless will, that my subsequent books may have a better claim to merit than this first adventure, which, in remembrance of your constancy, despite the many tricks time has played me,

I AFFECTIONTELY INSCRIBE TO YOU, M. E. PARKER HOUSE, Boston, 1898.
