Excerpt from Catalogue of Books, Manuscripts, Autographs and Drawings Edition of the First Series, in which a new Preface first appears. With an autograph letter from the Author to Miss Acton, referring to the work the legend you were kind enough to send me is a capital one, with an excellent moral at its tail and I shall certainly endeavour to turn it to account as soon as I can shake off the fit of laziness which has grown upon me of late and seems to become more inveterate every day. The fail is that since Bentley and I have shaken hands and parted I have not the same inducement to work, as one principal motive for doing so previously was a desire to help a periodical which I had been instrumental in bringing into existence, from which I only retired upon the principle of the well-bred dog who always walks downstairs the moment he suspects preparations are making for kicking him into the street. With many thanks for your kindness, which together with the double terms offered by Mr. Colburn, may induce me to take a fresh start towards a third volume.
