_A NEW PREFACE._
Twelve years ago, this autumn, when I had finished the concluding
chapters of this little book, I wrote a letter of Dedication to
Washington Irving, and, forwarding it by mail to Sunnyside, begged his
permission to print it. I think I shall gratify a rational curiosity of
my readers (however much they may condemn my vanity) if I give his reply
in full.
"My dear Sir,--
"Though I have a great disinclination in general to be the object
of literary oblations and compliments, yet in the present instance
I have enjoyed your writings with such peculiar relish, and been so
drawn toward the author by the qualities of head and heart evinced
in them, that I confess I feel gratified by a dedication,
over-flattering as I may deem it, which may serve as an outward
sign that we are cordially linked together in sympathies and
friendship.
