_I Dedicate these sketches_, _stories_, _studies_, _or what do you call
them_. _We have galloped together over many leagues of Pampa_, _by day
and night_, _and therefore I hope he will find the tales_ (_or what do
you call them_) _as near square by the lifts and braces_, _as is to be
expected from a mere landsman_.
