been "all play and no work," I must request you to look at the Parson at home as well as the Parson abroad,—in short, to read my "Confirmation and First Communion," as well as my "Forest Life;" a proceeding which, if it does not benefit you, my dear Public (and I sincerely hope it may), will, at all events,—through the medium of his Publisher,—benefit, and that materially,
Your faithful Servant,
THE AUTHOR.
Westbourne Vicarage,
July 7th, 1854.
