Author Description

Excerpt from Reveries of a Bachelor, or a Book of the Heart The first story of the book has already had some publicity; and the criticisms upon it have amused, and pleased me. One honest journalist avows that it could never have been written by a bachelor. I thank him for thinking so well of me and heartily wish that his thought were as true, as it is kind.
