It is a must-read for anyone interested in Southern literature or American history.''Life then promises me nothing. The talent which I have, lies with me idle and without hope of use. The pure name of the woman is lost to me for ever. Shame dogs my footsteps. Scorn points its finger. Life, and all that it brings to others----love, friends, fame, fortune---- which are the soul of life----these are lost to me for ever. The moral death is here already. The mere act of dying, is simply the end of a strife, and a breathing and an agony. That is all!''This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
