Excerpt from The Oracle of Romance: Or, Young Ladies' Mentor; Being a Series of Pictures, Designed to Illustrate Life

Between the preface to a new book and the skillfully worded placard whigh ushers in some new medicine to the patronage of the 1tic, there is this similitude - they are but seldom read. For most eons receive a new book as they would some new medicament - if It happen to please their taste and meet their present necessities, they swallow it complacently. If not, they throw it aside with indifference, perhaps disgust, reckless of the mental toil with which the writer, like the pharmaceutist with his medical arcanum, may have heralded his freshly prepared compound of words.
