Excerpt from Redwood, Vol. 1 of 2: A Tale
The attractions of novelty are too numerous and too evident to require argument or detail for their elucidation. Every one knows that new books, and especially new novels, will be sought for and read while those of more ancient date are disregarded. Many read them only because they are new, and to such they do not come in competition with any other description of reading, but are merely sufi'ered to seize on a vacant hour which might otherwise be less profitably em ployed.

Excerpt from Redwood, Vol. 1 of 2: A Tale
Be it Remembered, That on the twenty-second day of May, in the forty-eighth year of the Independence of the United States of America, Jonathan Seymour, of the said District, has deposited in this office the title of a Book, the right where of he claims as proprietor, in the words following to wit:
"Redwood, a Tale. In two volumes, vol. I. Whilst the infidel mocks a the superstitions of the vulgar, insults over their credulous fears, their childish errors, their fantastic rites, it does not occur to him to observe, that the most preposterous device by which the weakest devotee ever believed he was securing the happiness of a future life, is more rational than unconcern about it Upon this subject nothing is so absurd as indifference; - no folly so contemptible as thoughtlessness or levity." - Paley.
In conformity to the Act of the Congress of the United States, entitled "An Act for the encouragement of Learning, by securing the copies of, Maps, Charts, and Books, to the authors and proprietors of such copies, during the times therein mentioned." And also to an Act, entitled "an Act, supplementary to an Act, entitled an Act for the encouragement of Learning, by securing the copies of Maps, Charts, and Books, to the authors and proprietors of such copies, during the times therein mentioned, and extending the benefits thereof to the arts of designing, engraving, and etching historical and other prints."
