A PORTION of the work now submitted to the public
may probably be recognised as having been before them
in a somewhat different form—several of the earlier
chapters having been originally published in the pages
of the American Monthly Magazine. For reasons
with which it is unnecessary to trouble the world, the
publication of The Brothers in monthly parts was discontinued;
and it is, he fears, rather through the partiality
of his friends, than through the sobriety of their
judgment, that the author has been induced to unite
these passages into a connected form, for the purpose
of submitting them, with their sequel and conclusion, to
that ordeal which must decide whether their existence
shall continue beyond the hour in which they see the
light.
New-York, June 10th, 1835.
