PRELIMINARY NOTE

_____

These letters were written between the years 1824 and
1833. They are presented in chronological order.
In quite a few of the original scripts, due to the wear-
and-tear of time or for some other reason, the date or the
address is lacking. These could be supplied for several of them
by means of evidence gathered from the letters themselves or
from other sources, and the letters could also be arranged in the

order in which they were written.
Letters which bore insufficient data and could not be
arranged in chronological order, were compiled in a separate
series, in alphabetical order of the surnames of persons to
whom they were addressed.
Titles, dates, addresses and writer’s imprint were printed
as found in autograph-letters.
To make up for missing addresses, each letter is
introduced by a brief indication on its contents. Dates inferred,
though not found in autograph-letters, appear in brackets.
