Excerpt from Gordon Lodge, or Retribution: An Autobiography

Some writer has said that the preface is the best part of a book. Now I should dislike very much to think that it formed the best part of this volume that I have given to the public with so many misgivings. My excuses in writing this little story are simple these: To while away the lonely wintry hours in the mountain, and to entertain in a measure the fireside group. I had no idea at the time it would go to the press, but at the urgent request of a friend was prevailed upon to send it, and found to my satisfaction that it was kindly received.

If my readers will find any pleasure in its perusal, I shall be much pleased, and will be amply rewarded for the labor it cost me.
