Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Excerpt from Hoboken a Romance of New York, Vol. 1 of 2
Where are Frank and Harry asked Mr. Lennox, as the family assembled at breakfast.
I heard them, last night, replied Mary, agree to go over to Brooklyn early in the morning, and practise with the pistol.
Ah! Here they are, exclaimed Mr. Lennox. Young gentlemen, you're just in time.
How many people have you shot with those horrid things? Said Mrs. Lennox.
Nobody but our mark, answered Frank, a young lieu tenant just graduated from West Point, and I think we rather touched that once or twice - didn't we, Harry?

Theodore Sedgwick Fay was a writer from the United States who spent much of his life in Germany.
Background
Theodore Sedgwick Fay was born in New York, the eldest child of Joseph Dewey Fay by his first wife, Caroline Broome. His father, a native of Vermont, had studied law in the office of Alexander Hamilton, was a successful practitioner, and gave much time to advocating the abolition of imprisonment for debt.
Career
Theodore became a clerk for his father, who died in 1825, and was admitted to the bar in 1828, but in the same year he joined Nathaniel Parker Willis and George Pope Morris as an editor of the New York Mirror. He had established his connection with the paper by continuing a series of light essays, entitled “The Little Genius, ” that had been begun by his father. Dreams and Reveries of a Quiet Man (2 vols. , 1832) is a collection of his early Mirror articles. Though not heavily ballasted intellectually, he was versatile and sprightly, and his work was usually entertaining. His first novel, the once famous Norman Leslie, A Tale of the Present Times (2vols. , 1835) was replete with sentiment, bloodshed, heroics, and moral purpose. Fay’s literary friends in New York reviewed it with tremendous enthusiasm, and the book was a best seller until Edgar Allan Poe, beginning his career as a critic, excoriated it in the Southern Literary Messenger (December 1835, pp. 54-57). This review proved an even greater sensation than the novel and started a verbal war between Poe and the New York literati. Fay’s other novels—Sydney Clifton (1839), The Countess Ida (1840), Hoboken, A Romance (1843)— made pleasant reading for his contemporaries; the first of the three, like Norman Leslie, is a tale of "vicissitudes in both hemispheres”; the other two were written to expose the evils of dueling. For the rest of his life Fay lived in Europe. After holding a minor diplomatic post in London, he was appointed secretary of the legation in Berlin by President Van Buren in 1837. On retiring in 1861, he returned to Germany and resided at Blasewitz, near Dresden, and in Berlin, where he died in his ninety-second year. His first wife died while he was minister at Bern; his second wife was of German birth. Until after his eightieth birthday he was active as a writer. Ulric, or The Voices (1851) was a narrative poem, somewhat in the manner of Walter Scott, dealing with a German captain of horse who became a disciple of Martin Luther. It reflects Fay’s concern for the truths of Christian doctrine, which became stronger as he grew older. He tried his hand at schoolbooks with A Great Outline of Geography (2 vols. , 1867) and First Steps in Geography (1873). Die Sklavenmacht: Blicke in die Geschichte der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika (Berlin, 1865), and Die Alabama-Frage (Leipzig, 1872) were replies to hostile propaganda. His most substantial work is a popular political history of Germany, The Three Germanys (2 vols. , 1889). He also did much writing for magazines.

Personality
Though not heavily ballasted intellectually, he was versatile and sprightly, and his work was usually entertaining. He outlived his friends, whom in later years he saw but seldom, and was almost forgotten by the time of his death.
Connections
In 1833 he married Laura Gardenier of New York and, in Poe’s phrase, went “a-Willising in foreign countries” for three years, meanwhile sending home sketches of travel and miscellaneous matter to be published in the Mirror.
His first wife died while he was minister at Bern; his second wife was of German birth.
