Sunny Memories of Foreign Lands, Volume 1Routledge, 1854 - 362 páginas And now, what am I to do?

If the plantation slaves had such a good friend as the Times, and if every over-worked female cotton picker could write as clever letters as this dressmaker's apprentice, and get them published in as influential papers, and excite as general a sensation by them as this seems to have done, I think I should feel that there was no need of my interfering in a work so much better done. |
