    EPIGRAPH: Drop, drop, slow tears, and bathe those beauteous feet, which brought from heaven the news and Prince of Peace. Cease not, wet eyes, his mercies to entreat; to cry for vengeance sin doth never cease. In your deep floods drown all my faults and fears; nor let his eye see sin, but through my tears.

    EPIGRAPH: How knowest thou,' may the distressed Novel-wright exclaim, 'that I, here where I sit, am the Foollshest of existing mortals; that this my Long-ear of a fictitious Biography shall not find one and the other, into whose still longer cars it may be the means, under Providence, of instilling somewhat?' We answer, 'None knows, none can certainly know; therefore, write on, worthy Brother, even as thou canst, even as it is given thee.'

    EPIGRAPH: On its appearance in 'Household Words,' this tale was obliged to conform to the conditions imposed by the requirements of a weekly publication, and likewise to confine itself within certain advertised limits, in order that faith might be kept with the public. Although these conditions were made as light as they well could be, the author found it impossible to develope the story in the manner originally intended, and, more especially, was compelled to hurry on events with an improbable rapidity towards the close. In some degree to remedy this obvious defect, various short passages have been inserted, and several new chapters added. With this brief explanation, the tale is commended to the kindness of the reader; 'Beseking hym lowly, of mercy and pite, Of its rude makyng to have compassion.'
