A New-England Tale, Or Sketches of New England Character and Manners (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A New-England Tale, or Sketches of New England Character and Manners

Tm-z writer of this tale has made an humble effort to add something to the scanty stock of native American literature, Any attempt to conciliate favour by apolo gies would be unavailing and absurd. In this free country, no person is under any obligation to write; and the public (un fortunately) is under no obligation to read. It is certainly desirable 'to possess some sketches of the character and manners of our own country, and if this has been done with any degree of success, it would be wrong to doubt that it will find a reception sufficiently favourable.
