I have to state, once for all, that for the '‘plain English ” in which I have attempted to write this story, the English of Swift, of Pope, of Addison, and of Steele, has not been adopted as a model. Such a feat of elegant pedantry has been already ad¬ mirably accomplished in Mr. Thackeray’s noble story of “Esmond;” and I have no wish to follow up a successful imitation by a sorry caricature. I have simply endeavored to make my hero write as a man would write who was born and bred in the early part of the eighteenth century, whose reading had been confined to the ordi¬ nary newspapers and story-books of his time, and who, in his old age, had preserved the diction of his youth. The Captain’s orthog¬ raphy has been modernized; for to continue through nearly four hundred pages spelling “ pie ” “ pye,” “ public ” “ publick,” and “ tiger ” “ tyger,” would be but a tiresome trick, keeping up no illusion, and of which the reader would soon sicken.
