Excerpt from Stories of the Great Railroads Most of the matter in this book originally appeared in Hampton's Magazine in the form of separate articles. After the manuscript of Chapter III had been taken to the magazine office, before there had been any publication, and when the article, in fact, had advanced no farther than the proof stage, I received a letter from a railroad agent in a western city, displaying an intimate acquaintance with the article, attempting to refute some of its statements, and urging me not to print them. Again, while the chapter on Death Avenue was lying at the office in proofs, and two weeks before the magazine that contained it had been made up, a gentleman declaring himself to be a representative of the New York Central railroad and known in the office to be such, called with the information that he knew the nature and scope of the article the magazine intended to publish about the New York Central, and he plainly intimated that unless it was suppressed the railroad company would withdraw all its advertising from Hampton's. The article was published and railroad advertising was accordingly withdrawn. About two weeks before the publication of Chapter XIII, and while it, too, had advanced no farther than the proof stage, there came to the office of the magazine a gentleman that introduced himself as coming from Mr. Charles S. Mellen, president of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company, which is made the subject of that chapter.
