Excerpt from Justice in the by-Ways: A Tale of Life And though the sentiments we have put forth in this work may not be in fashion with our Southern friends, they will give as credit for at least one thing - picturing in truthful colors the errors that, by their own confessions, are capping the very foundations of their society. Our aim is to suggest reforms, and in carrying it out we have consulted no popular prejudice, enlarged upon no enormi ties to please the lover of tragedy, regarded neither beauty nor the art of novel making, nor created suffering heroines to excite an outpouring of sorrow and tears. The incidents of our story, which at best is but a mere thread, are founded in facts; and these facts we have so modified as to make them acceptable to the reader, while shielding ourself from the charge of exaggeration. And, too, we are conscious that our humble in uence, heretofore exerted, has contrib ated to the benefit of a certain class in Charleston, and trust that in this instance it may have a wider field.
