Excerpt from Herbert Milton, Vol. 1 of 3
It may be proper to state that the following work was originally written under the title of "Almack's," and before the Publication of that popular Novel, in order to account for any resemblance which may be discoverable between the two productions; though the author has endeavoured to obviate the probability of such, by making some changes in his scenes, familiar from observation, and by purposely abstaining from the perusal of the work which has so ably preceded him in the use of the title referred to.
It seems only farther necessary, to disclaim all idea of personality in the following pages, the object intended having been to pourtray manners, rather than individuals, and to connect with real occurrences such sketches of character, as might not prove wholly useless in their tendency and application.
