Book Description

Excerpt from A Woman in the Case: A Story Some books are written to sell others to illustrate a' principle. I shall have attained both objects, if this little work meets with popular favor. I believe in individual freedom of writing and buying. I have written for my own pleasure and profit. If the public purchase for the same reasons, both parties will be satisfied. My story is founded on fact, but I think it will be conceded that it is stranger than fiction. If curious people expect to find anything in it bear ing directly or indirectly on the great trial, in the elucidation of which I was necessarily made a witness, I am happy to know they will be disappointed. It may, however, be some consolation'for them to learn that had it not been for that misfortune, it would be possible for me to earn an honest living in a less public way than this. As it is, I have chosen a path which I hope will lead to profit and favor. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
