The authenticity of the following Diary and Letters is too apparent to be questioned. The reader, however, cannot fail to notice certain discrepancies which occur in the work, and more particularly in the earlier portions of it, by which it would appear to have been the intention of the editor who first undertook to prepare it for the press, to disguise— by assuming the masculine style in the Journal, and substituting the feigned for the real sex of the personage addressed in the Letters— the evident fact, of the former having been written by a female, and of the latter being communications to one of the same sex.
The reader, by being made aware of this circumstance, will be the less surprised at the other discrepancies which occur with regard to dates; some of the Letters being brought in at periods quite at variance with the dates of the Journal.
