Adrian or the Clouds of the Mind, Vol. 1 of 2

Excerpt from Adrian or the Clouds of the Mind, Vol. 1 of 2: A Romance Two friends, an American and an Englishman, the one a citizen of New York, the other a resident in Massachusetts, met after a separation of some months, to spend the bright season of the year in one of the loveliest valleys of New England. They diversified then rambles and their rides amongst grand mountains and by beautiful streams, with conversations upon subjects congenial to the tastes of both. One day the topic became the curious copartnery in literary labours of Beaumont and Fletcher, and the one friend proposed to the other to attempt the composition of a prose work of fiction in the same manner.
