Anim na binibini ang nang̃akálupasay sa lilim nang isáng puno ng̃ manggá sa bayang Antipulo nang taóng nagdaan. Pawa siláng magágandá; pawa siláng mahíhinhín; ng̃uni't ang katakátaká, ang apat ay nakátawa at ang dalawá ay nakásimang̃ot. Sa lihim kong pagsísiyasat ay naunawa kong kaya palá gayón, ang apat ay nakápagdalá ng̃ mg̃a babasahing Tagalog at ang dalawá ay nakalimot. Walang pagáalinlang̃an na yaóng di nakápagbaon ay siyáng nakásimang̃ot, pagka't wala ng̃ masaráp na aliwan sa bayan ng̃ Antipulo na para ng̃ magbasá ng̃ aklát. Maligo, pagkatapos ay magduyan, bago magbasá ng̃ aklat: iyán ang buhay mayaman.
Kaya kayóng maglíliwalíw sa Antipulo, nang huwág kayóng sumimang̃ot pagdatál doón, ay magbaon kayó ng̃ Pinatatawad kitá!, Ang Mananayaw, Mga Anák Bukid, ¡Duwág! Sa tabi ñg bañgin, ¡Tadhana!, Halina sa Lañgit!, ¡Sawíng Pagasa!, Larawan ñg Pagirog, Pañgarap ñg Buhay, ¡Walang Diyos!, ¡Higanti at Pagsisisi!, ¡Enchang!, ¡Kristong Magdaraya!, ¡Parusa ng̃ Diyós! ¡Imbing Kapalaran! Bahág-Hari, ¡Milagros! at Lihim na pagluha! Sa gayón, tang̃i sa maáalíw ninyó ang inyóng sarili ay makatútulong pa kayó sa masisikap na kawal ng̃ pagpápalaganap ng̃ wikang minana natin.
Masaráp ang wikang Ingglés, ang turing ng̃ Ingglés; lalo na ang wikang Kastila, ang saló ng̃ Kastila; lalo pa ang wikang Pransés, ang habol ng̃ Pransés, palibhasa'y para-para siláng may damdamin at marunong magmahál sa mg̃a kalulwá ng̃ kaníkaniláng bayan, na alinsunod sa mg̃a pantás na sinásamba ng̃ marami, ang wika, ay siyáng kalulwá ng̃ bayan.
Ng̃uni't ... sa bibíg ng̃ ilang mg̃a Tagalog, ay hindi ganitó ang namúmutawi. ¡Katiwaliang lahát at balót ng̃ mg̃a kahang̃alán ang lumálabás! Pawáng kapalaluan na anyá'y masaráp ang wikang Kastila at Ingglés kay sa wikang Tagalog kaya't ni di ko tinitisod ang mg̃a katha dito, ng̃uni't masdán mo ang aking mg̃a nobelang Ingglés at Kastila ay hindi na mabilang.
Iyán ang mg̃a kaaway ng̃ bayan; pagka't silá ang pumápatáy sa kalulwá nitó. Dahil sa kayabang̃ang masabing sila'y nakaiintindí ng̃ wikang dayo, ay ipinagpápalít na, ang kaniláng dang̃ál....
¡Mg̃a kamánunulát! ¡Kahabághabág ang ating katayuan! ¡Sa lahát ng̃ sandali'y nakaumang sa ating mg̃a ulo ang tabák ni Damokles; nanunuláy tayo sa pang̃anib na guhit ng̃ mg̃a batás; kalaban natin ang mg̃a dayuhan at sampu ng̃ kalahi, ay kalaban pa rín!...
—¿Bakit?
—¡Mangyari ay umáasa ka sa panghíhirám ng̃ bagong aklát! Mabuti kang tao, pagka't nabasa mo na halos lahát ng̃ nobela sa kahíhirám, ng̃uni't masama kang kristiyano, pagka't pinápatáy mo ang mg̃a kumatha at nagpalimbág at ayaw kang bumilí ng̃ iyó, gayóng pinagkagastahán nilá. ¿Saán mabubuhay ang kuto, kung hindi sa ulo?
—¡Kung ayaw kang magpahirám ay huwág! ¡Kay dami mong rekubeko! ¡Pag ikáw namán ang nanghirám sa akin, ay tatawagin kitá ng̃ TUSO, pagka't para mo ríng tinuso ang kuwartang ibinilí ko, na nabasa mo ang aking binayaran ng̃ di ka nagkagastá!...
Ganyán ang taltalan ng̃ dalawáng magkaibigan, kaya't ikáw na bumábasa, upang huwág tawaging TUSO ó MASAMANG KRISTIYANO, ay bumilí ká ng̃ mg̃a kasaysayang: "¡Halina sa Lañgit!" ni Gat-Dusa: "¡SAWÍNG PAGASA!" ni Bb. Francisca Laurel; "¡Duwag!" ni Gerardo Chanco: "Larawan ñg Pagirog" ni Simplicio Flores: "Sa Tabi ñg Bañgin" ni José María Rivera; "¡Imbing Kapalaran!" ni Angel de los Reyes; "Tadhana!" ni Democrita P. Antonio; "¡Walang Diyós!" ni Honorato de Lara: "¡Parusa ñg Diyós!" ni Angel de los Reyes; "Mga Anak-Bukid" ni Ros. Almario; "Pañgarap ñg Buhay" ni Simplicio Flores; "¡Enchang!" ni Honorato de Lara; at "¡Kristong Magdaraya!" ni Angel de los Reyes.
Si Petra at si Petring ay magkapatíd. Minsáng nalálapít ang Paskó, ay binigyán silá ng̃ kaniláng amá ng̃ muntíng halagá upang magugol sa dakilang araw. Si Petra ay ibinilí ang kanyáng bahagi ng̃ isáng hikaw, at si Petríng ay pawang babasahing tagalog ang pinakyáw.
Dumatál ang araw ng̃ paskó, at gaya ng̃ karaniwan, ay nagdalawán ang dating mag-kákaulayaw. Sa dampa ng̃ magkapatíd ay mayroón díng mg̃a panauhin. At ¿anó ang naisalubong ni Petra? ¿Naipagparang̃alan bá ang kanyáng hikaw? ¡Hindi! Subali't si Petríng ay naipagmalakí niyá ang kanyáng mg̃a aklát at tang̃ing nakápagsabing "Mamiyang hapon na kayó umuwi at tayo ay magbasá nitóng masasaráp na kasaysayang bagong labás ..."
Kayóng bumabasa nitó, ay inyóng hatulan kung sino ang natumpák: ang hiyás na nagagamit ng̃ isáng tao lamang ó ang aklát na pakíkinabang̃an ng̃ marami ang lalong mahalagá, Kauntíng pagkukuro ang inyóng papaghariin. Tutupín ninyó ang inyóng mg̃a puso at siyáng magsasabing: mahalagáng pagaari ang mg̃a aklat kay sa hiyás na nawawala.
Sa tahanan ng̃ isáng matalino, ay aklát ang matátagpuan; ng̃uni't sa tahanan ng̃ isáng mangmáng ay pawáng hiyás ang palamuti. Dahil doo'y magipon kayó ng̃ mg̃a babasahing tagalog upang mapabilang kayó sa mg̃a pantás.
Suriin natin ang ugali ng̃ umanó'y mg̃a bantóg at pahám na manúnulát. Ayaw siláng makariníg na mayroóng makata; ayáw siláng makakita na mayroong bagong kasaysayan, at pauulanin na nilá ang pula, lubha pa't isáng maliít ang sumulat. Sasabihing iyán ay mali, walang kabuluhan; at sayang lamang ang ipinagpalimbág. Palalo at pang̃ahás ang gumawa niyán, huwág na di masabing siyá ay autor.
¡Kaawaawang mg̃a manúnulát!
¡At silá daw ay mg̃a kawal sa pagpápalaganap ng̃ wikang tagalog! Kung sa habang panahón ay ganyán ang aasalin nilá, ay sumpa ng̃ bayan ang kaniláng maáantay. Sa kaniláng pakikipagkapwa ay doon lamang uusbóng ang pagmámalasakitan ng̃ mg̃a makatang pilipino, na, tang̃ing daan ng̃ ikátatanyág ng̃ masaráp na wika ni Balagtás.
Kung sa akin silá hahadláng ay itutulak ko silá ng̃ dalawáng kamáy at bubulyawán kong: ¡Maaliwalas ang daan ko! ¡Nakikita ko ang aking nilálakaran! ¡Tanglawán ninyó ang inyóng landasin at di ko kailang̃an ang inyóng ilaw! ¡Manipís mán ang aming mg̃a katha ay piniga namáng tunay sa aming sariling isipan at di naming ninakaw sa isipan ng̃ mg̃a makatang kastila, ingglés, pransés, at ibá pá! ¡Mura mán ang aming mg̃a aklát ay madali namáng maubos at di ináamag sa mg̃a aklatan!
Ang munti kong kaya at maiklíng pagkukuro ay minarapat ng̃ mahál kong kaibigang Angel de los Reyes na magbigáy ng̃ Pang̃unang Salita dito, sa kanyáng bagong aklát na maliit, na noóng araw ay napalathala na sa páhayagang "Ang Democracia;" at kung bagamán tinawag ko ng̃ayon ng̃ bagong aklát ay sapagka't ng̃ayón lamang naipalimbág at di na paputól-putól.
Walang alinlang̃an akóng nayag sa hilíng ng̃ aking kaibigan, nang̃iti ako ng̃ lihim ng̃ ito'y sabihin niyá, at naibulong ko sa sarili na siya'y sadyang matalino sapagka't totoóng maalám na magbagay-bagay: nababatid niyáng sa isáng maiklíng aklát, ay isá namáng maiklíng isip na lamang ang dapat mag-ukol ng̃ mg̃a palagay at paghahaka. At dahil diyán, ay sisimulán ko ayon sa makákaya, ang paglalahad ng̃ aywán kung tumpák na aking mg̃a pagkukuro tungkól sa kanyang katháng itó.
Sa ganáng akin, ang mátutunghayán ng̃ayón ng̃ mg̃a mambabasa ay isáng aklát na mainam, isang aklát na dapat bigyán ng̃ papuri, Páhiná 12hindi dahil sa itó'y nakáwiwili lamang basahin kundi alang-alang pá sa wagás at maníngníng na damdamin ng̃ kumatha: ang maalab niyáng nasang ang dukha ay igalang at masugpu ang ugaling hanggáng ng̃ayon ay umiiral pa sa ibá, at kung minsán ay sa dukha rín, na inuuna ang salapi bago ang lahát; minámahál na higít sa puri, sa dang̃al, sa katungkulan at wastong ugali.
Ganyáng-ganyán ang asal na makikita natin sa mag-amá ni Tuníng sa Kasaysayang itó, na bagamán mahirap ang búhay, nang mahulí ay ayaw na silá sa kapwa nilá mahirap at ang ibig ay ang mayaman, dahil sa may nakápang̃ibig lamang na isang masalapi kay Tuníng at ito'y si Ruperto. At ang kasuklám-suklám na nagíng bung̃a ng̃ kasabikáng itó sa pilak ay ang pagkatapon ng̃ anák ni Osong, ang binatang unang inibig ni Tuníng, pinaglagakan ng̃ boo niyáng pagkábabai at hanggáng sa nagbung̃a pa ng̃a. Datapwa't kay Tuníng, ay nagíng bula ang salitang puri at katapatan sa haráp ng̃ yaman ni Ruperto, kayá't dito siyá napakasál sa wakás, gayóng si Osong ay di namán tumatanggi sa pagtupád ng̃ kanyáng tapát na pang̃akó at wagás ná pagibig.
Si Osong na parang sinasakal ng̃ mg̃a daliring bakal ay hindi nakatiis at nang araw ng̃ pagkakasál ay nagdamít-pulubing naparoón sa bahay ng̃ kasayahan nilá Tuníng at ni Ruperto Páhiná 13na dalá ang larawan ng̃ kanyáng bunsóng na sagíp sá ilog, at nang makita ni Tuníng na yaón ang kanyáng anák ay hinimatáy na bigla, bago humingí ng̃ tawad kay Osong at hanggáng sa nalagót ang hining̃á. Samakatwíd ay oo't nagsisi ng̃á si Tuníng kayá't huming̃í pa ng̃ tawad sa pinagtaksilán niyáng binata, subali't dí dahil dito'y hindí siyá matatawag na babaing salawahan at tampalasan lalo pa't isasagunita ang pagkákatapon sa tunay na dugó ng̃ kanyáng pusó.
Kung ang gayóng ginawá ng̃ babaing ito'y oo't napatatawád ng̃ Diyós, sa mg̃a tagá-lupa'y waláng makapagpapatawad marahil.
Sa haráp ng̃ ganyáng paglálarawan ng̃ kaibigan ko, ay labis niyáng ipinakilala ang lubós na kabagsikán ng̃ salapí na waláng dí naituturó sa tao, pati ng̃ lalóng kasamasamaan.
Subali't ¿ang hang̃ád kayá ng̃ mahál kong kaibigan sa paglalarawang itó ng̃ nakáririmarim na ugalí ay upang pulutin namán itó ng̃ mg̃a mambabasa?
Kayóng tumútungháy ng̃ayón ang makásasagót, at kayó rin namán ang dapat makábatid sa túnay na layon ng̃ ¡Nasawing Pagasa!
Gayon man ay sasagot din ako ng̃ para sa akin.
Ang mithí ng̃ aklát na itó ay walá ng̃áng ibá sa warí ko, kundí ang turuan ang mg̃a dukhá sa pagpapakárang̃al sa kaniláng sarili, sapagkát kung ang mg̃a dukhá'y marang̃ál, Páhiná 14kung ang lahát ng̃ dukha'y hindi nagbibili ng̃ puri ni napaaalipin sa salapí, ang mg̃a mayáyaman ay hindí maaaring magpákatayog-tayog na para ng̃ madalás nating mapánoód ng̃ayón.
Ang isinasamá ng̃ mg̃a mayayaman ay na sa mahihirap, at ang isinasamá ng̃ isáng pamahaláan ay na sa pinamamahaláan dín. Iyán ang mg̃a katótohanang kailán má'y dí magkakabula at dapat dasalín ng̃ bawá't tao; katótohanang aywán kung kanino ko unang nadiníg o nabasa at ng̃ayo'y inankín ko na tulóy pagka't nakilala kong tapát.
Kayá ng̃a, mg̃a mambabasa, upang makinabang ang kumathá nitóng ¡Nasawing Pagasa! sa kanyang mg̃a ginugol na pagod sa pagsulat ng̃ kasaysayang itó ay pagaralan sana ang huwág magbilí ng̃ puri at isagunitang na sa kupurihán ang tunay na halagá ng̃ tao at wala sa kayamanan.
Kung magkakagayón, siyá at akó'y maghahandóg sa inyó ng̃ masaganang pasalamat, palibhasá'y siyáng túnay na adhiká ng̃ tapát kong katoto.
Amado Jacinto.
Malabón, Rizal, 1912.
Kasamang Angel!
Dahil sa pagkabasa ko ng iyong kathang ¡NASAWING PAGASA! na pangapat na buñga ng iyong panulat, sa pitak ng pahayagang ANG DEMOCRACIA ay natula ko ang sumusunod:

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
particular state visit https://pglaf.org
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
works.
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
https://www.gutenberg.org
This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
