Excerpt from Desultory Reminiscences of a Tour Through Germany, Switzerland, and France
It is customary for an Author, ere he makes his debut in character, to offer sundry apologetic or conciliatory remarks, - both for the sake of veiling his imperfections, and (more especially) for the purpose of enlisting in his behalf the feelings of that dread arbiter who can bid him live, whatever his transgression, or, verso pollice, can put an instant end to his sufferings, by terminating at once his literary existence.
