PREFACE.
To my Readers:
Six months since, I was in a deplorable state ofignorance as to the most felicitous style of Preface;at this lapse of time, I find myself not a whit thewiser. You will permit me, therefore, in pressingagain your friendly hands, simply to say, that I hopemy second offering of “Fern Leaves” will be moreworthy of your acceptance, than the first.
Fanny Fern.
