Synopsis
Excerpt from A Sheaf of Papers
IN the fact that these slight and desultory papers have been written by dictation, a friendly hand holding the pen, the reader will be good natured enough to find some excuse for their verbiage, and the activity of the irrepressible personal pronoun; While it is hoped that they have gained thereby something of freshness, and a look of reality.
Some of the papers have already appeared in the Old and New magazine.
