Excerpt from The Adventures of Mr. Ledbury and His Friend Jack Johnson, Vol. 1 of 3The system of writing a tale in periodical divisions, wherein one situation must follow upon the heels of another with high-pressure rapidity - in which constant change is looked for, and no repose allowed between the prominent incidents Of the narrative - is not the best calculated to form a three-volume novel.
