Excerpt from Vasconselos a Romance of the New World

The relations existing between the reader and the author, do not render this essential to the intercourse between the parties. The one writes, the other reads - approvingly or not - and why either employs himself in this fashion, is, I take it, a matter upon which neither need to ask any unnecessary questions. This book, at all events, like all other books, was, from the first, required to make its way alone, irrespective entirely of publisher and author.

Gratuitously, however, I beg to mention one subordinate particular. The romance of "Vasconselos" was begun, and a score of chapters written, several years ago, when the subject was set aside, to give place to other performances of more pressing claim, though scarcely of more absolute attraction. The work was resumed, finally, with as much eagerness as it had been originally begun: for the romantic history which the subject involved, had lost none of its beauty hi my eyes, and none of its hold upon my imagination.

As a drama, embodying a most curious and interesting progress, during a singularly-attractive period in our ante-colonial history, the invasion (not the conquest - very far from it!) of the empire of the Floridian (Apalachian) savage, by Hernan de Soto, affords a vast and fertile region for him who works in the provinces of art in fiction. It is, in brief, one of the most magnificent of episodes in the history of progress and discovery in the western world. Your well-known tastes, my dear sir, for the material of the antiquarian; your enthusiasm, that so quickly expands to the spells of the art-necromancer; will unite, I trust, to incline you to the work; while I feel very sure that your personal sympathies will all contribute to secure for it that degree of favor, from your judgment, which, possibly, its own merits would utterly fail to coerce.
