The Village of Mariendorpt, Vol. 1 of 4: A Tale (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from The Village of Mariendorpt, Vol. 1 of 4: A Tale

The Village of Mariendorpt was begun in the autumn of 1819; pursued during the short suspensions of a year's serious illness and concluded now under the immediate pressure of the same de pressing malady. It would never have been finished, I believe, had not the de sire of stimulating my mental powers to some salutary occupation, induced me to send nearly half the ms. To the press, early in the spring of the present year the remainder, completed under the in fluence of bodily suffering and consequentlanguor of spirit, will, I fear, require all the indulgence of my friends and the public at large; I must, therefore, hope, that when 'the whole is judged, mercy will temper justice.
