Présentation de l'éditeur

It is very possible, and somewhat to be feared, that the following tale, if it attracts any notice at all, will excite the wrath of one party, the ridicule of another, and the suspicions of a third. By all three it will probably be called popish, superstitious, flippant, satirical, and a great many other hard names of the like kind. Now it is clear, that a book must be very bad indeed to deserve all this ;and an author must either have some sinister end in view, or entertain an overweening opinion of its merits or usefulness, to risk the danger of such abuse. It is right, therefore, that his real motive in publishing it should be clearly and honestly expressed.
