This Book will be found to be truly what its name denotes, "Sunny Memories." If The criticism be made that every thing is given couleur de rose, The answer is, Why not? They are The impressions, as They arose, of a most agreeable visit. How could They be Otherwise? If There be characters and scenes that seem drawn with too bright a pencil, The reader will consider that, after all, There are many worse sins than a disposition to think and speak well of one's neighbors. To admire and to love may now and Then be tolerated, as a variety, as well as to carp and criticize. America and England have heretofore abounded towards each Other in illiberal criticisms. There is not an unfavorable aspect of things in The old world which has not become perfectly familiar to us; and a little of The Other side may have a useful influence. The writer has been decided to issue These letters principally, however, by The persevering and deliberate attempts, in certain quarters, to misrepresent The circumstances which, are here given. So long as These misrepresentations affected only those who were predetermined to believe unfavorably, They were not regarded. But as They have had some influence, in certain cases, upon really excellent and honest people, it is desirable that The truth should be plainly told. The object of publishing These letters is, Therefore, to give to those who are true-hearted and honest The same agreeable picture of life and manners which met The writer's own, eyes. She had in view a wide circle of friends throughout her own country, between whose hearts and her own There has been an acquaintance and sympathy of years, and who, loving excellence, and feeling The reality of it in Themselves, are sincerely pleased to have Their sphere of hopefulness and charity enlarged. For such this is written; and if those who are not such begin to read, let Them treat as a letter not addressed to Them, which, having opened by mistake, They close and pass to The true owner.
