It is several years since a little story bearing this title, and comprising
a considerable portion of the text of this work, was published in one of
the popular periodicals.
This, and some similar tales, first introduced to the world under the
auspices of various periodicals of the day, having been so fortunate as to
find favor with the reading public, I have been induced to rewrite and
carry out some of the larger of these articles, for the purpose of publication
in an independent form; and with a hope that they may be thought
worthy of preservation in company with my larger works.
I believe that there is no occasion for any farther observations, concerning
this little book, as the few historical persons introduced, and the
anecdotes relating to them, are so generally known as to render comment
needless.
It is my intention shortly to issue, in a form similar to this, enlarged
and improved editions of “The Sisters,” and “The Lord of the Manor;”
and should their reception justify it, others will be successively produced
in uniform style, and suitable to be bound up in good sized volumes.
December, 1843.
