Excerpt from The Correspondence of Jonathan Worth, Vol. 1 Most of the letters are self-explanatory and consequently the notes are few. The biographical sketch will also serve to explain many of them. In explanation of the method followed in editing them, it is only necessary to say that the orthography, capitalization, and punctu ation of the writers are unchanged. Wherever the address of the per son to whom the letter was written is known, it is placed immediately below the letter. Except where they are needed to make clear the rela tions existing between the writer and the person addressed, the forms of address and closing are omitted. The index will appear in the second volume. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
