## Summary

I have long wished to write a novel, but I could not determine what it was to be about. I could not bear any thing common-place, and I did not know what to do for a hero. Heroes are generally so much alike, so monotonous, so dreadfully insipid--so completely brothers of one race, with the family likeness so amazingly strong--"This will not do for me," thought I as I sauntered listlessly down a shady lane, one fine evening in June; "I must have something new, something quite out of the beaten path:--but what?"--ay, that was the question. In vain did I rack my brains--in vain did I search the storehouse of my memory: I could think of nothing that had not been thought of before.
