Memoirs of Jane Cameron, Vol. 1 of 2


Book Description

Excerpt from Memoirs of Jane Cameron, Vol. 1 of 2: Female Convict I may add that I have sought, in every instance, and wherever practicable, to compare notes with those Who were personally acquainted with Jane Cameron; to visit, or in some instances cause to be visited, those places wherein her early days were spent, those haunts of vice still extant, and where lives similar to Cameron's are beginning in the same way, to end after the same awful fashion. During the progress Of this work I shall allude to many well-known Guilt Gardens. There will always be one satisfaction connected With the writing of this book, that I shall have directed attention anew to the one gigantic evil, which it is possible by a united effort of good men to ameliorate - the evil of neglect.
