[Introduction to Barnes & Noble Classics] To interpret her as exclusively one or the other is to read this open fiction as closed and rob it of half its richness.
[Preface to the Second Edition] The author is constrained, therefore, to republish his introductory sketch without the change of a word. SALEM, March 30, 1850
[Introductory] It may be, however,--O, transporting and triumphant thought!--that the great-grandchildren of the present race may sometimes think kindly of the scribbler of bygone days, when the antiquary of days to come, among the sites memorable in the town's history, shall point out the locality of THE TOWN-PUMP!
