Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Frolics of Puck, Vol. 1 of 2
In regard to these tales, I can only say I have taken some pains to make them good, but whether good or bad, or only indifferent, it will hardly be denied they are original, and that is something now-a-days, when, on taking up a new book, it is ten to one that the reader stumbles on some old acquaintance. But What I more especially pride myself upon is the historical veracity of my work there is nothing set down in it which the good people of this country did not at one time believe to be true, and if they believe it ho longer, the fault is. Not mine; nor do Isee how those who pretend to admire the wisdom of our ancestors in matters of the highest policy, should take upon themselves to question the same authority when the subject is much more simple to the understand ing; if their judgment is to be lord-paramount'in point of law' and government, why should we refuse to.accept their belief in the supernatural?
