Excerpt from Rollo's Correspondence, Vol. 10 of 14 One day, when Rollo was about seven or eight years old, he was sick. He was not very sick but he was so sick that he had to keep in his bed almost all the day. It was winter, and his mother had moved his little trundle-bed out before the fire, so that he might be comfortable.

Excerpt from The Quod Correspondence, Vol. 1: Or the Attorney To explain the irregularity in the commence ment of the 'attorney, ' it may be necessary to mention that the whole of the following pages first made their appearance in The New York Knickerbocker Magazine, ' in monthly numbers, each containing several chapters. At first these numbers were prefaced by a note from Mr. Quod to the editor of that Magazine, containing the letters of several of the many correspondents who had sprung up about him, as soon as it be came known that he had a whole haunted house to himself. By degrees, as he states in the conclusion to his story, his correspondents became too numer ous for him to trespass further upon the pages of the periodical, with their letters and his re plies; and at this time he left off prefacing the numbers, ' and devoted himself exclusively to his story.
