In The _Metropolitan Magazine_, Where This Novel Originally Appeared
(Sep. 1834-Jan. 1836), Marryat Prepared His Readers For Its Reception In
The Following Words:--
"And Having Now Completed 'Jacob Faithful,' We Trust To The Satisfaction
Of Our Readers, We Will Make A Few Remarks. We Commenced Writing On Our
Own Profession, And Having Completed Four Tales, Novels, Or Whatever You
May Please To Call Them" (Viz., Frank Mildmay, The King'S Own, Newton
Forster, Peter Simple), "In 'Jacob Faithful' We Quitted The _Salt_ Water
For The _Fresh_. From The Wherry We Shall Now Step On Shore, And In Our
Next Number We Shall Introduce To Our Readers 'The Adventures Of
_Japhet_, In Search Of His Father.'"
