EDWARD SARTORIS, EsQ., THIS BOOK! EDWARD, A YEAR’S experience and observation of your fine and critical judgment would hardly have encouraged me to place your name on the title-page of my book but a sojourn of that length under the shelter of your roof has enabled me to appeal, with perfect confidence, to your kindness and indulgence. To them, and the affectionate and generous interest you have ever shown me, I venture to offer, as a most inadequate token of gratitude, this record of the happy year I spent in Italy.
