4 INTRODUCTION.
like a new dollar from a mint-hopper.
Some likes to use up the big I's, and write
all about themselves; and 1 reckon it isn't
easy to quit that, particularly when one is
uncommon hard pushed to come out a
second time.
Now, this is just my case. If every one
has not read my book, every one ought,
which comes to the same thing.
Stepping into a tavern a short time ago,
I met a friend, who said to me, " Crockett,
my dear fellow, we are all as dull in this
empty batfbf a city, as a grog-shop without
liquor; and unless you come out with
another book, I do not know how we are
to get along."
" Much obliged to you, major; but may
be, if I do, you'll laugh at me, and not at
my book."
"Trust me, colonel, you are mistaken:
we are all looking to you for musick. Allow
me to introduce to you my friend,
Terrance O'Neal."
