[2] A book is kept at the house, in which the name of each visitor is registered.
[3] This injunction has not been strictly followed; but we trust our friend will excuse us for putting him 'in print,' how much soever his modesty would prompt him to 'blush unseen.'

[7] A short time since, Goold Brown stated to the writer, that 'in eleven years he had received but just nine hundred dollars for copy-right.'

Transcriber's Note:
Valid archaic spellings have been retained (for example: ecstacy and extacy variants are listed in 1828 or 1913 dictionaries, and so are retained).
