that the annals our own country display avast
field for the imagination, and that we need not
cross she atlantic io search of materials to
found the moral tale or amusing story upon.
But an aversion to introduce living characters,
or those recently dead, rendered Europe a fafer,
though rot a more agreeable theatre. With
real humility, and a trembling diffidence, this
little work is prefentad to the public, and as a
mediocrity of genius will not authorrfe a hope
for the approbation of the connoisseur ; that
it may be Ihielded from the censures of the
critic, is all that is expected. It comes like
the humble Julia, soliciting patronage and
protection as a boon that will insure its success,
not demanding as a due, what perhaps it will
not be found to merit ; with a variety of de

favorite wish, she feels it a duty to apologize,
with her very humble talents, for thus appear

writers of Romance arc not highly estimated.
She is likewise sensible that custom and nature,
which have affixed the duties of woman to a
very confined and very limited bounds, are by
no means likely to patronize a female writer.
She feels that her conduct needs excuse, and
though the independence of her mind render#
