California, a History of Upper and Lower California from Their First Discovery to the Present Time, Comprising an Account of the Climate, Soil, ... Commerce, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)

SfC, SfC. SfC. My dear Brother, I herewith send you, such as it is, my work on California, in which I have attempted to give some account of that very remarkable and Httle-known country. I f, on perusing my papers, you deem them worthy of pubH cation, let them be published; but, in that case, you must not only be theE ditor of my book but its foster-father :and as it usually happens with adopted children that they are more indebted to those who train them to manhood than to those who give them existence, so it may well be that my California ,if found to possess any merit by the public, shall owe more to your care than to the capability of its original author.
