Notes:

"Modesty is a virtue as rare as she is transcendent. She is not to be bought with glittering gold--she is not to be gained by bribes or threats--she is not to be lured with fine phrases or gentle words--she is of herself heart-born ... This rare jewel, (modesty,) we flatter ourself we possess, gentle reader; nay we are certain of it; and to convince you that we possess it, we will not say a word in praise of our most excellent story. Hoping you may not have occasion to think otherwise of us, than we think of ourself, we subscribe ourself, dear reader, very respectfully, your ob't servant, Tom Shortfellow."--To the reader.
