Erotic fiction: It was therefore at my suggestion that Mr Prendergast extracted from the memoirs those chapters which relate the story of a young woman who passed from slavery to freedom and from subjection to wealth. In the course of this adventure, she was cherished and chastised equally by those who possessed her but came safe through all. There is much in the account which spirits of gentle sensibility may be advised to pass over, for we speak of women under the yoke and the lash, as they once were. Yet the publisher trusts, as a new century has dawned, that we may look at the scandals and misdeeds of the past with a new mind and without flinching at the truth of a young woman's ordeal as the slave of her masters. I must be excused if I do not reveal the name of he who dictated these pages to Mr Prendergast. It is the undertaking I have given my friend as his publisher.
