TO

MY TRUEST FRIEND,

OLIVER DYER,

WHOSE FRIENDSHIP NEVER FALTERED, IN ADVERSITY;

WHOSE SYMPATHY AND ENCOURAGEMENT CHEERED ME,

WHEN NO BOW OF PROMISE WAS SET IN MY SKY;

This Book is Gratefully Dedicated,

BY

THE AUTHOR.


PREFACE.

To my Readers:

Six months since, I was in a deplorable state of ignorance as to the most felicitous style of Preface; at this lapse of time, I find myself not a whit the wiser. You will permit me, therefore, in pressing again your friendly hands, simply to say, that I hope my second offering of “Fern Leaves” will be more worthy of your acceptance, than the first.

Fanny Fern.
