Excerpt from The Smuggler, Vol. 1 of 3: A Tale
You will willingly accept the book, I know, for the sake of the author; though, perhaps, you may have neither time nor inclination to read it. Accept the dedication, also, I beg, as a sincere testimony of respect from one, who, having seen a good deal of the world, and studied mankind attentively, is not easily induced to reverence or won to regard.
