Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Miss. Richards Boy, and Other Stories
When publishing a new book it is a custom of authors to say a few words, perhaps to bespeak the gentle good will of the public to the new venture they are sending out in hope. In publishing these little stories of country life, although I am well aware their merit is not great, yet the cordial friendliness, and too generous appreciation which met my former books, makes me hope that same public will deal gently with the faults of this.
