BY THE AUTHOR OF “MY OPINIONS AND BETSEY BOBBET’S,” AND “MY WAYWARD PARDNER.”

This book the writer sends forth to the world, expecting it will (as did other martyrs: John Rogers and etcetery) tread on the hot coals of public opinion; be briled on the gridiron old bigotry keeps to brile her enemies on; be scalded by the melted lead of old custom; and be burnt up on the stake of opposition; yet still, upheld by firm principle and lofty emotions, she is able to say: “I am happy in the thought.”
