These lines was wrote on to the top of ''em: We do not wish to encourage the feeling of revenge in our fair contributor''s fair breast, but this we will say, that on some occasions, revenge is a noble feeling and almost leans over against virtue''s side.

Excerpt from book:20 I DISCOURAGE COMPARISONS. unvarnished history, I had almost a deadly objection to widowers owin' to their habit of comparin' their second wives to their first relict, to the disadvantage of the first-named pardner. Josiah tride it with me when wo was first married. But I didn't encourage him in it.
