Notes: "The superior and costly execution of the various Annuals of the day, has so enchanced their price, as to place them beyond the reach of the ordinary or general reader. This consideration has induced the editor of the present volume, to select from these annuals, such Tales and Poems as will make a neat, and he trusts an acceptable volume, and in a form so cheap, as to place it within the means of all ... it is composed of 'extracts containing all the virtues of their originals' ..."--Preface.

"The Young Provincial", first published in The Token of 1830, is attributed to Nathaniel Hawthorne.--Cf. BAL 7571.
