Book excerpt: Excerpt from Major Jones's Courtship: Detailed, With Other Scenes, Incidents, and Adventures, in a Series of Letters by Himself Twenty-eight years ago the sketches of rustic life and character comprised in the following pages - if so much may be claimed for them - were written to give variety and local interest to the columns of a Georgia country newspaper. In the composition of them, from week to week, the highest aim of the writer was to afford amusement to his readers, the thought that they would ever appear in any other form, or that they would have any other than a home circulation and an ephemeral existence, never having entered his mind; nor would his hastily-written letters ever have attained the dignity of a book, but for the importunities of a friend who insisted on giving them that form at his own expense. Inquiry as to the cost of a small edition brought a proposition from a publishing house in Philadelphia, which resulted in the issue of the first illustrated edition of "Major Jones's Courtship."
