rrio the public. When I made my debut as a new-fledged publican, I addressed myself, through the medium of the press, to the "gentle public." Believe me when I tell you that that mode of address was not penned in any spirit of banter, or chaff, or self-conceit. . I merely adopted it as a means of exciting attention, in other words, to make myself known to you. To be successful in my present (for me) big undertaking I must be populai ; to be popular I must first be notorious, and what mightier engino can I employ to attain my object than the lever which moves the world ' with greater facility than Archimedes could have done even with the foot of earth which the great philosopher sighed for ; the power I refer to is the preas ; Professor Holloway knows it, Spiers and Pond know it, the New Yorkers know it, and I want to know it. Partly by advertising, and partly by my own exertions, do I hope to attain my end, viz., your support. I thank you heartily for the good start you have already given me ; it shall not be my fault if I do not come in a winner — hands down. Believe me to be yours respectfully, F. B.
