Synopsis
Excerpt from Now and Then: Through a Glass, Dakly
I AM at a loss for terms in which to express my sense of the favour with which this work has been received by the public, both at home and abroad. Two very large editions, thrice as large as I could have contemplated, before yielding to the confidence of my publishers, were exhausted almost immediately, and the second has been now out of print for several months. I greatly regret the delay which has occurred in bringing out this Third Edition, and the disap pointment which may have been felt by numerous applicants for Oopies of the work. That delay has been occasioned by the pressure of numerous engage ments, which prevented my bestowing upon the pre sent Edition the careful revision which it has now received. The necessity of that revision may be accounted for, by the rapidity and suddenness with which Now and Then was written, and passed through the press. Not a line of the manuscript was.
