Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Mirror of Literature, Amusement, and Instruction, Vol. 4: Containing Original Papers, Historical Narratives, Biographical Memoirs, Manners and Customs, Topographical Descriptions, Sketches and Tales, Anecdotes; July, 1843
Original tales of interest will be given, and such as spiritedly recal the manners and incidents of former days. From ancient histories and foreign languages treasures forgotten, or long concealed, will be drawn forth in new translation, and with the ample supply already open to them, the proprietors cannot anticipate that a day will speedily arrive when their little work will not be sparkling and intelligent, amusing and useful.
Every care will be taken to render the monthly parts most valuable as a magazine. The sketches of the aristocracy (commenced in the last volume) will be given with a sincere desire to state only what is true, and though there may be cases where it will seem right not to enlarge on the co duct of a deceased individual.
