To WASHINGTON IRVING, Esq.

Dear Irving:—

With some little misgiving upon the score of having wasted time andpaper both, which might have been better employed, I feel a realconsolation in turning to you, as having, by your success, furnished ouridle craft an argument to justify our vocation.

You have convinced our wise ones at home that a man may sometimes writea volume without losing his character—and have shown to the incredulousabroad, that an American book may be richly worth the reading.

In grateful acknowledgment of these services, as well as to indulge theexpression of a sincere private regard, I have ventured to inscribe yourname upon the front of the imperfect work which is now submitted to thepublic.
