Excerpt from What Can She Do?
His book was not written to amuse, to create purposeless excitement, or secure a little praise as a bit of artistic work. It would probably fail in all these things. It was written with a definite, earnest purpose, which I trust will be ap parent to the reader.
I have nothing to say tending to disarm the critics. They will speak their mind, as they ought, and it is wholesome for us to have our faults point ed out.
