Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Our Country, or the American Parlor Keepsake
W'e have no apology to offer for presenting the following pages to the public. If they do not prove their own claim to the approbation of the people, nothing which it is proper for us to insert here will render them any more acceptable. That there was a demand for such a book, was certainly the Opinion of those interested in its publication, or they would. Not have undertaken the task, and subjected them selves to the heavy expense of issuing it; but whether those, upon whose favor the success of the effort largely depends, are of the same Opinion, remains to be seen.
