Books like The Three Musketeers, Vol. 1

Excerpt from The Three Musketeers, Vol. 1 This permission was most graciously accorded 3 which we here declare, to give a public contradiction to those malevolent persons who pretend that government is not inclined to indulge authors. We Offer to-day the first part of this valuable manuscript to our readers, restoring to it the title which suits it, and promising, if (as we doubt not) this should meet with the success it merits, to publish immediately the second. In the meantime, as the godfather is a second father, we invite our readers to look to us, and not to the Comte de la F ere, for his amusement or his ennui.
