Excerpt from Thaddeus of Warsaw: A Tale Founded on Polish Heroism Having attempted a narrative of the intended description, but Written in fact from the mere impulse of sympathy with its sub jcet, still fresh in my own and every pitying memory, it is natural that after having made up my mind to assent to its publication, in which much time and thought has been expended in consider ing the responsibility of so doing, from so unpractised a pen, I should feel an increase of anxiety respecting its ultimate fate.
