TO MY FLATTERING FRIENDS, Who have urged me to gather into a volume these articles, published in magazines during the last half century, saying that they have found them suggestive and heart awakening. I omit some articles which were not completed, but which may possibly appear in a subsequent volume completed, together with other articles not yet published, if the reception of this volume by the public shall give me courage.
