[figure description] Advertisement.[end figure description]
In presenting this work to the public, the author feels that he is but renewing an
intercourse which, though interrupted for a while, has ever been a source of agreeable
recollection to himself, with many distant and unknown friends; and, trusting that they
will regard the renewal of a pleasant familiarity with favorable eyes, commits it to
their gentle judgment—confident that it contains not a syllable to call up a blush into
the purest cheek, or to implant an improper thought in the most unsullied heart—and
trusting that it may be found to contain some wholesome lessons, in the portraiture of
the contest between human principles, and human passions; and to convey some useful
information concerning the history of a period full of great men and stirring incidents.
It may not be superfluous to add in this place, that all the facts introduced as Historical
will be found strictly true—the author deeming it a species of crime, even in
fiction, to falsify the truth of History. Those of his readers, who may feel such interest
in this little narrative as would induce them to examine for themselves, are referred to
the “Memoires relatifs a la Revolution d'Angleterre”—to the Biography of the Cardinal
de Retz—and to the Lives of Celebrated Statesmen, by G. P. R. James, Esq.—from
one of which sources most of the facts inwoven in the following romance have been,
and much more may be, derived, both of amusement and of information.
Carlton House, New-York, April 3, 1843.
