Excerpt from Memoirs of Bryan Perdue, Vol. 1 of 3: A Novel
Whenever I have undertaken to write a novel, I have proposed toSk myself a specific moral purpose. This purpose, in Anna St. Ives, was to teach fortitude to females: in Hugh Trevor, to induce youth (or their parents) carefully to inquire into the morality of the profession which each might intend for himself: and, in the present work, to induce all humane and thinking men, such as legislators ought to be and often are, to consider the general and the adventitious value of human life, and the moral tendency of our penal laws.
