Ebook The Green Mountain Boys

The favor with which this work has been received, even with all its typographical errors, and its uninviting dress, has induced the author to offer another and revised edition to the public, who have done his r e?'orts so unexpected and, as he fears, undeserved an honor. Tl); materials of the work, consistiu of veritable incident, collected from original sources, were undon tedly good; and the author can only regret that they were not wron ht u with an ability corresponding to their richness. He would filad y e several alterb ations in the work, particularly in the appe ation of one of the most conspicuous personages, charles warrington, whose proto was intended to be the chivalrous Colonel seth warner, whom e always regretted he had not introduced, like allen, baker, Mas. Story, and other historical characters, under his own name. But as this, and other like alterations could not be made without somewhat varying the construction of the whole Tale, he has concluded to pre sent it, with the exception of corrections and s few additional notes.
