Excerpt from Geraldine: A Souvenir of the St. Lawrence Geraldine has won friends. The inquiries, comments, commendations, criticisms, confessions, and correspondence which it has called out would form a large and rather inter esting volume. Were they now at hand I might be tempted to fill several pages with extracts curious. I remember well one letter, from a gentleman of some literary repute in a Southern State, which, among other things, frankly said' How you learned certain facts in my own experience that I supposed hidden from all the world, it puzzles me to tell. Of course I did not know them, any more than he knew the unknown author whom he addressed. But scores of testi monies have come to me, showing in like manner how closely parallel these my pages run to the deep lines of many a human life. I feel warmly grateful to Messrs. Ticknor Co. For thus adding to the feeble gifts of my pen the lavish graces of their book-making art. They have succeeded, far beyond all possibilities of mine alone, in producing a souvenir of the St. Lawrence, and a remembrance of the mountains, which those who best love American scenery will appreciate most.
