The Author is quite aware of the defects of this little story, many of which were unavoidable, as it first appeared serially.
Eight Cousins by Alcott, Louisa May View in context
The conclusions deduced from these facts are unavoidable, and in stating them the author has been influenced by no feeling of animosity, either to the individuals themselves, or to that glorious cause which has not always been served by the proceedings of some of its advocates.

Lady Susan by Austen, Jane View in context
