This my first novel was written several years ago, and published (without any revision by me) first in a ladies' magazine under the name of “Dorothea,” and afterwards in book form as “Dolly.” For reasons not necessary to state here, all control over the book had passed from my hands. It has been for some time out of print; but, having at last obtained control of the copyright, I have made such corrections as seemed advisable, given it the name I originally intended for it, and now issue it through my regular publishers.
