Excerpt from Madeline, Vol. 1: A Tale
Could the coldest-hearted being have an opportunity of reading the secret details of the faults, the cares, the sor rows, the hopes, the sentiments, the ac tions, and the adventures, of the most indifferent person of his acquaintance, would he not read it in preference to the history of either Greek, or Roman, or even British worthies P To this question my own heart so rea dily answered Yes, that I requested, and at length obtained, permission to employ my leisure hours in arranging for publication, at some distant period, not only the Journal itself, but every docu ment connected with it.
