PREFACE.

THE Sketches which comprise this volume were written in such intervals of "leisure" as could be stolen during the past five years, when duty permitted absence from the editorial rooms of a daily newspaper.

The critic will find them variable in style, and unequal in merit; but if he will only accord, what the Author designs, in each—"to point a moral"—he may use his scalpel playfully, or keenly, or, what is severer, not at all, and "damn the book with faint praise," he will, in no degree, produce such effects as, it is said, broke the heart of poor Keats, or which, according to history, brought out Byron's "English Bards and Scotch Reviewers."

Cincinnati, July, 1854.
