When Mrs Harriet Beecher Stowe

charging them with the foulest of
crimes, and @ universally. of guilt, it
was implicitly believed, not only by the
North, but, translated into every civil
lied tongue-it became the prose Mar
seillaise of the Humanitarians through
out the world. Now, that in pursuit of
her prurient tastes she charges incest
upon an acknowledged ibertine, the
whole world is in arms, and Byron is de-
Tended as though he were a Milton or
Bunyan; all going to show that the world
is unjust and fond of scandal, and that

she failed to become Procuress.
