PREFACE.

THE Publisher has encouraged me to believe, that although six years have elapsed since I appeared before the public as a candidate for its favor, I have not been forgotten, and hoping that his judgment may prove correct, I venture to send this volume forth, trusting it may be received with the kindness which was accorded to my previous efforts.

The story here presented, was narrated to me many years ago by a physician well known in this city, and if I were at liberty to mention his name, no doubts would be entertained as to its entire truthfulness.

I "tell the tale as 'twas told to me," and if it shall serve to amuse or interest, the object for which it was written will have been attained.

I have used the "first person" throughout, as most appropriate to the narrative, and as best enabling me to preserve the unity and correctness of a tale, relating, as it professes, occurences which transpired in this city, and which will be recognised as strictly true by many, who were at the time familiar with them.

CHARLES BURDETT.
