TO
MY MOTHER,
IN ALL REVERENCE AND LOVE,
I INSCRIBE THIS BOOK.
THE AUTHOR TO HER AMERICAN
READERS.
My little book seems scarcely to admit of prefatory
words: either it will speak for itself, or all my additions
must fail to speak for it.
Its reappearance, however, in an American edition,
gives me a welcome opportunity of acknowledging the
courtesy and liberality of Messrs. Roberts Brothers, who
have arranged with me and with my kind friend and
publisher, Mr. Macmillan, to bring it before the American
public.
