Works of Fancy and Imagination, Vol. 7 (Classic Reprint)
May, 1864. MY DEAR SIR, ALLOW me, with the honour due to my fathers friend, to inscribe this little volume with your name. The name of one friend is better than those of all theM uses. And permit me to say a few words about the story. It is a Romance. I am well aware that, with many readers, this epithet will be enough to ensure condemnation. But there ought to be a place for any story, which, although founded in the marvellous, is true to human nature and to itself. Truth to Humanity, and harmony within itself, are almost the sole unvarying essentials of a work of art. Even The Rime of tfte Ancient Mariner than which what more marvellous? is true in these respects. And Shakespere himself will allow any amount of the marveL ous, provided this truth is observed. I hope my story is thus true ;and therefore, while it claims some place, undeserving of being classed with what are commonly called sensation novels, I am well aware that such tales are not of much account, at present; and greatly would I regret that they should ever become the fashion ;of which, however, there is no danger.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
