<h2> Preface </h2>
<p>The Author is quite aware of the defects of this little story, many of
which were unavoidable, as it first appeared serially. But, as Uncle
Alec's experiment was intended to amuse the young folks, rather than
suggest educational improvements for the consideration of the elders, she
trusts that these shortcomings will be overlooked by the friends of the
Eight Cousins, and she will try to make amends in a second volume, which
shall attempt to show The Rose in Bloom.</p>
