Book synopsis

Excerpt from The Soldier's Bride: And Other Tales The żattering reception Of the Legends of the West, has induced the publisher Of that little vo lume to venture upon another by the same author. He is the more encouraged in this enterprise, by a belief that the American public is beginning to awaken from the apathy with which our native writers have heretofore been regarded, and that our countrymen are now willing to bestow upon native genius, some of the patronage which has been lavished with indiscriminate profusion upon undeserving foreigners. A number Of the tales in this volume have already been published, but some Of them appeared several years ago, and are now forgotten: and while a few have had the advantage of extensive circulation in popular periodicals, others have not been thus favoured. It is thought therefore, that they will be sufficiently novel to most readers, and desirable to the friends Of the author, to warrant the collection of them in a volume. It will be seen that they are strictly American. Should the work sustain in the Opinion of the public, the character claimed for it, the publisher will have attained his Object, and the author stand excused for permitting himself to be again placed at the bar Of criticism as a writer of fiction.
