- Notes:
- "Advertisement. The approbation bestowed on the Sketches of American character, when they originally appeared in the Ladies' magazine, has encouraged the publishers to collect and revise them for a separate volume. This would not have been done so soon after their first appearance, could the demand for the complete sets of the Magazine have been answered, without printing a new edition of several numbers. The publishers preferred a selection; and they trust the public will approve their judgment. Boston, August, 1829."--p. [3].
