THIS ATTEMPT IN ORNAMENTAL
DISENCHANTMENT
IS DUTIFULLY INSCRIBED
_New York, 15th February, 1888_
"_Truth is not always in white satin like a girl on her
wedding-day. And when it is of mud and of blood, when it
offends the nostrils, so much the worse; I, for one, will not
sprinkle it with ottar of rose. Besides, I am not here to tell
fairy tales and pastorals._"
