Excerpt from The Patchwork of Reflection
To Friends,
You will, no doubt, say on reading some of the pieces in 'The Patchwork,' "They ought to have appeared years ago, when the subjects were fresh before the public." They should at such time have been printed; but then, as now, I was unacquainted with a person likely to bring them into notice. And as I may pass through life without ever being known to any one from whom such aid may come, I have published them, in the hope that they may interest my friends, and drift perchance before a kindred spirit, desirous and capable of drawing attention to them. Once, and only once, I sought to have a piece (the Death of Lincoln) copied into a newspaper. I was told by a gentleman in the office of The Morning Star, "The lines may be to the point, and ever so beautiful, but we cannot insert them; for it is a rule with us to print in our paper the contributions only of our own staff. I do not doubt the merit of the lines, but it is useless my looking at them."
