Excerpt from The Banker's Wife, or Court and City, Vol. 1 of 3: A Novel
Dear Sir,
I cannot more strongly mark that the following pages are intended to exhibit the failings of an individual, not as an attack upon a class, than by placing at the head of my work the name of one who, ancestrally connected for the last two centuries with the banking profession in a house of business which has existed in the same spot since the year 1650, has added to its distinctions in his own person, by connecting it with the literature and fine arts of the kingdom.
