my critics have laid to my charge;
but on second thoughts I have deemed it better to say nothing, lest by
my defence against manslaughter a new indictment should be framed, and
convict me of murder.

Such is the simple truth. The faults, the very great faults, of my book
I am as well aware of as I feel myself unable to correct them. But in
justice to my monitors I must say, that they have less often taken me up
when tripping than when I stood erect upon good and firm ground. Yet let
me be grateful for all their kindness, which for critics is certainly
long-lived; and that I may still continue for a season to enjoy their
countenance and yours is the most sincere desire of your very devoted
servant,

Harry Lorrequer.

P.S.--A bashful friend desires an introduction to you. May I present Tom
Burke, of Ours? H. L.
