Book Description
Excerpt from The Knickerbocker, or New-York Monthly Magazine, Vol. 1: Containing the Numbers for January, February, March, April, May, and June, 1833 Isbecoming as it may be, courteous reader, to rush at once into thy presence and pour out our gratulations at meeting thee here, there is still something so cor dial on the occasion, that for the life of us we cannot begin by making thy ao quaintance in cold and formal phrase. Dost thou observe how smilingly the sun comes in yonder window and plays upon the extended sheet, over which that ancient figure is stooping? Even so do the friendly looks which than now bendest over our page, cheer our soul with their sunny influ ence. There is, too, a free and confiding expression in thy countenance, which at once banishes all distrust from our bosom; all those doubts and misgivings, which we could not but indulge in seeking thy intimacy. We feel as if we had known thee for years, and the very chambers of our heart open of; themselves as to an old acquaintance, who has theprivilege of entrance without knocking. We cannot, we can not, dear reader, while our heart is thus warming toward thee, enter upon formal explanations, or draw up here a fri gid business-like agreement, as to the footing we are herauf ter to be upon together. Let our publishers and the public settle those musty matters between them, while we two, quiet ly, after a simple fashion, talk over our afi'airs as if no one else were by.
