EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE.
For the prrufal of the young and thouehtlefs
of the fair fex, this T.de of Truth is dr fi med ,
and I cou’d with rny fair readers to corlider it
as not merely the effufion of lancy, hut as a
terlity The circumftances on which I have
founded tnis Novel, were related to me fume
little time fince by an old Lady who.had per
femaily known Cnarlotte, though fhe concealed
the leal names of the characters, and likewife
the place where the unfortunate feents were
aettd—yet as it was impofsible to o‘fer a reliR
t.on to the public in fuch an imperfect Rate,
I have thiown over the whole a slight veil of
fiction, and fubftituted names and places accor
ding to my own fancy The principal characters
in this little tale are now configned to the tilent
tomb—it can therefore hurt the feelings of no
one—and may, I flitter myfclf, be of fervice
to fome who are fo unfortunate as to have
neitht r friends to advife, nor undemanding to
direct them, through the various and unex
pected evils that attend a young and unoioitft
cd woman in her fi- ft entrance iuto life.

in 5 but the following are plain to the meaneft
capacity, “ not in the enticing words of man's
wifdom, but in the demoeftration of the Spirit
and of power."
