PREFACE.


I have again the pleasant task of presenting another volume to the public;—pleasant with the remembrance of former, and the hope of future encouragement.


The character of the present work is more various than that of its predecessors. Perhaps, as it does not belong to my share in the contents, I may be permitted to point attention to the beauty and novelty of the coloured frontispiece. The music introduced is also a new feature; but I may safely leave Mr. Russel’s songs to make their own welcome.


May I, while offering a fourth volume of the Drawing-Room Scrap Book to my readers, venture to rely on a continuance of that favour, at once the source and the reward of a writer’s anxiety and exertion.
