nn 0 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 populat ; to be popular I must first be notorious, and what mightier engine 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 press; Professor Holloway knows it, Spiers and Pond know it, the New Yorkers know it, and I want to Mow 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 winnerhands down. Believe me to be yours respectfully, F. B.
