| General note | "The interesting and instructive 'Stories about whale-catching,' which I am now about to tell you, were written by a worthy clergyman of one of our beautiful little inland towns, and were printed in a somewhat larger book than this, several years ago. ... I thought, if I could add this, and the 'Stories about the elephant,' by the same gentleman, to my already long list of 'Teller's Tales,' I should be doing you all an acceptable favor. I am happy in being able to tell you, that the author has very kindly given me permission to do so. ... I have told you these stories almost in his own words, having only left out a small part, which I had not room for, in a book of this size."--To my young readers, t.p., verso, signed by Thomas Teller, and dated at Roseville Hall, 1845. Edited by George Tuttle (i.e., "Thomas Teller"). An 1832 issue attributes this book to "the author of Stories about the elephant." |
