Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Winkles; Or the Merry Monomaniacs: An American Picture With Portraits of the Natives
At a convenient distance from the trafficking centre of the town, was an old, square, two-story brick dwelling, embowered with overhanging trees. In the rear and on the south were a few acres belonging to the premises, which had been originally planned for a magnificent lawn, but were subsequently, for cer tain reasons, devoted to more useful purposes. The grounds, at the most distant extremity from the house, were bounded by a sparkling brook, whose source was in a range of hills a few miles distant. This stream had always been, and is yet, as every one knows, famous for its abundance of small trout.
