Standard Novels (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Standard Novels Although this Work has already obtained more attention than even the parental fondness of an author led me to expect, yet the worthy publisher, Mr. Bentley, not only expects that in a new garb the public may be inclined to welcome the re-appearance of an old friend, but believes that welcome will be more hearty if the parent aids once more in dressing his offspring for the stage. When this Work was first written, my literary career had just commenced, and inexperience, of course, added to the many errors of taste and judgment with which the natural defects of the author caused the pages to overflow. As I do not pretend to rewrite the Work, those errors of taste and judgment must of course remain, and I can only hope, that whatever little merits the public discovered in it before, may still act as a propitiation upon its re-appearance in the present form.
