In the author's original edition there are many touching narratives introduced, 'which it was thought unnecessary hereto bring for ward, not because they are void of interest, but because they do not really belong to the history of Uncle Tom; and the editor wishes only to follow the thread of his story; she fears, however, that, by so doing, she may be accused Of taking too great a liberty with an Author, whose work, as a whole, has been pronounced by Europe, as well as by America, one of undoubted skill and thrilling interest.
