Excerpt from New-York Aristocracy, or Gems of Japonica-Dom
To the public -if there is one thing more than another which is apt to prejudice the first casual glance of the reader in search of novelty, it is to encounter in the outset of a work from an unknown hand, aformidable display of tedious and unnecessary relations in reference to matters in which the public can have no earthly interest. It is apt to produce some what the same sensations as are experienced by being ad dressed, With outstretched hand and confidential manner, by a. Total stranger. People,if they care any thing about it at all, will read the work to know the man; they don't wish to have a prosy placard a mile long stuck upon them. If my dearly beloved readers, by consuming the first edition of this publica tion, evince a partiality for its continuance, it is highly prob able they will be gratified. Althoughi crave for my labors both good opinion and patronage, I am candid to say that I infi nitely prefer the latter. With wishes as good, possibly, as are felt by the majority, the Public's obedient servant.
