Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Casket of Reminiscences
The author of the Reminiscences contained in this volume has lit tle to say in regard to them by way of proem. They were written to amuse a few hours of the summerand autumn of the present year. And appeared almost daily in the columns of the washington chron icle precisely as they were originally thrown off from his pen. Though very sensible of their deficiencies in point of literary finish, he has not judged it expedient to modify them in any essential par ticular; and he will, indeed, be highly gratified if they shall now be read by those into whose hands they may chance to fall with as much interest as they seemed originally to awaken.
