Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Adventures of Col. Gracchus Vanderbomb, of Sloughcreek, in Pursuit of the Presidency: Also, the Exploits of Mr. Numberius Plutarch Kipps, His Private Secretary
Although I have permission to inscribe your name in a formal dedication, I forbear to do it in this instance for obvious reasons. I append my own name, however, with a perfect resignation to what may follow. If I am not proof against ridicule, I was once, as you remember, quite accus temed to it. Yet I would suggest to the political beadles, if they be disposed to use the lash again, that one's skin grows tender during a long exemption from punishment.
