DREAMS AND REVERIES OF A QUIET MAN CONSISTING OF THE LITTLE GENIUS, AND OTHER ESSAYS. By one of the Editors of the New-York Mirror. Theodore Sedgw... IN TWO VOLUMES. VOL. I. NEW YORK: PRINTED AND PUBLISHED BY J. & J. HARPER, AND FOR SALE BY THE PRINCIPAL BOOKSELLERS THROUGHOU To GEORGE P. MORRIS, Esq. MY DEAR SIR, In dedicating these volumes to you, I obey the dictates of a friendship which a close and constant intimacy of many years has only confirmed and strengthened. If the light sketches now offered to the public in this form (not without a tremulous feeling,) possess any merit, I cannot forget that but for your encouragement and liberality they never would have been written. Many indeed, more worthy than I, have experienced the benefit of your unwavering exertions to employ talent already established and to infuse confidence into the timid and inexperienced. That your literary career may be as successful, as your talents are marked, and your private life is benevolent and irreproachable, is the very ardent wish of, My dear sir, Very affectionately and sincerely, Your friend and obedient servant, THE AUTHOR. New York, June 2, 1832. |
