Excerpt from Signor Masoni: And Other Papers of the Late I. Brown Dear Lady, I pray your acceptance of this small volume of papers, selected from the writings of my late friend, Brown. They claim your notice simply as being, for the most part, faithful and homely - too much so? - pictures of the village life of New England - a land with neither peasantry nor nobility - the home of Mrs. Child and Mrs. Stowe, of Longfellow and Lowell, of Emerson and Hawthorne, of Sparks, Prescott and Motley, the other sketches being reflections of your own German life from the mirror of a New England mind. When I first sent a specimen or two of these papers to be printed in Dwight's Journal of Music, it was with much hesitation and many misgivings, for, how naturally, through partiality for their author, might I have mistaken their real value and have rated them too high.
