Notes:

"Sleight & George, Printers, Jamaica, L.I."--T.p. verso.

"The reader may possible observe that the volume ... commences with page thirteen, and thence suppose there has been on omission of some portion of the work ... It originated in a mistake of the printer, and passed without being noticed by the editor until it was too late for correction. It may be well to mention also, that the story of Phoebe Augevine alluded to in the prefatory memoir, as forming a part of the present volume, has been omitted, and another substituted. It will appear in a second series of tales, which will be shortly presented to the public."--Advertisement.
