to their utility and ornament may be deemed By
some absurd, and by others questionable; vet
my reason does not Weld its assent to any OF the
arguments which l have heard against them, and
until it does, must be permitted to believe they
are both useful and ornamental. Having frequent

EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE.

For the Peruf4l of the young and thouehtIefs
OF the lair lex, this Tale of Truth is d, e. ned
and could with my fair readers to confider it
as not merely the chiffon of fancy, but az a
reality. The circumstances on which I have
founded this Novel, were related 20 me fome
little time iihce by An old Lady who had Der
ionaliy known Charlotte, though fhe concealed
the real names Of the characters, and like wife
tn place where the unfortunate fcenes were
acted-yet as 1t was impossible to offer rela-
ton 10 the public in fuch an imperfect fate.
! have thrown over the whole a slight veil of
httlon, and fubftituted namea and places accor
ding to my own fancy The principal characters
IN this little tale are now conhgned to the fient
tomo-it Can therefore hurt the feelings of no
one-and may, fiatter myfelf, he of fervice
to iome who are 70 unfortunate as to have
neither friends to advife, nor undetRanding to
direct them, through the various and unex-
Peeted evils that attend young and unprotea
ed woman IN her firm entrance into life.
