The happiest days of my young
manhood were spent in the employ of this house; I there began
friendships which have grown closer with each passing year. And one of
my deepest sources of satisfaction is, that during all the thirty-one
years which have followed my resignation from the Scribner house, it
has been my good fortune to hold the friendship, and, as I have been
led to believe, the respect of my former employers. That they should
now be my publishers demonstrates, in a striking manner, the curious
turning of the wheel of time, and gives me a sense of gratification
difficult of expression.
