"TO JOSEPH GALES, ESQ., My Dear Sir, --
I have two reasons for embellishing this little volume with your distinguished and honored name. In the firest place, the materials of which it is composed, was originally published in the National Intelligencer; and in the second place, I desire to record the fact, that for many years past, in all matters appertaining to my pen you have been to me an invaluable counsellor and friend. 

In love and gratitude, Very sincerely yours. Charles Lanman.
