In introducing to the Public the present edition of this well known
and affecting Tale, -- the _chef d'oeuvre_ of its gifted author,
the Publishers take occasion to say, that it affords them no little
gratification, to apprise the numerous admirers of Paul and
Virginia, that the _entire_ work of St. Pierre is now presented to
them. All the previous editions have been disfigured by
interpolations, and mutilated by numerous omissions and
alterations, which have had the effect of reducing it from the rank
of a Philosophical Tale, to the level of a mere story for children.
Of the merits of Paul and Virginia, it is hardly necessary to utter
a word; it tells its own story eloquently and impressively, and in
a language simple, natural and true, it touches the common heart of
the world. none are more deserving it; and the Publishers cannot
therefore refrain from expressing a hope that their efforts in thus
giving a faithful transcript of the work, -- an acknowledged
classic by the European world, -- may be, in some degree,
instrumental in awakening here, at home, a taste for those higher
works of Fancy, which, while they seek to elevate and strengthen
the understanding, instruct and purify the heart. It is in this
character that the Tale of Paul and Virginia ranks pre-eminent.
