DEDICATORY.

To the Lovers of Truth:

Ladies and Gentlemen (for the followers of that sublime virtue are of both sexes): I dedicate this effort of my pen to you because you, and you alone, appreciate the fact that all honor, all virtue, and all true robility are born of

Truth, which is the Sun of Moral Life, whose

beams illuminate and beautify the Social

World and tinge it with the hues of
Heavenly light, or having set, leaves

it enveloped in the gloom of

blackest night.
