I owe to the present owners of that journal permission to use them. ``The Autobiography of a Quack has been recast with large additions. ``The Case of George Dedlow was not written with any intention that it should appear in print.

Edward Everett Hale.He, presuming, I fancy, that every one desired to appear in the ``Atlantic, offered it to that journal. To my surprise, soon afterwards I received a proof and a check.
