"PROBABLY no one ever made a book for the reason which induces the making of this. The papers here gathered were written..., to a daily newspaper, the New York Journal of Commerce, in the course of a correspondence which has extended over more than forty years. Although often asked to gather them in a book, my judgment has been that such letters..., are not good material for continuous reading in a solid book. They were written for the purpose of a day, served their purpose..., and I had no wish to recall them. But they had been cut out and preserved by more than one person, strangers to me, who have severally written me that if I do not make a book of them they will! Should such a book be made by another person, it would perpetuate many sad errors of type, ... and be a misfortune to the papers and to me. There was but one way to protect the dead and long-buried sketches - namely, to select some of them, revise, correct, and edit them, and make a book, which I have done only because I did not want it made."
