I have endeavoured in this Ghostly little book to raise the Ghost of an Idea which shall not put my readers out of humour with them-selves, with each other, with the season, or with me. May it haunt their house pleasantly, and no one wish to lay it.
Their faithful Friend and Servant,
December, 1843
