fchool from h mani-y rather than a conviction
of her integrity, or the regularity of her former
conduct, is enticed from her governed and ac
companies a young Officer to America—-The
marriage ceieinony, if not forgotten, is pr ft

EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE.
For the perufal of the young and thoughtlefs
of the fair fex, this Tale of Truth is dt figned .
and f could wifh my fair readers to con filer it
a» not merely the efl'nfion of fancy, hut as a
reality The circumftances on which I have
founded this Novel, were related to me fome
little time fince hy an old Lady who had per
fonaliy known Charlotte, though fhe concealed
the real names of the characters, and likewife
the place where the unfortunate feenes were
acted—yet as it was impcfsible to olfer a rela
tion to the public in fuch an imperfect ftate,
I have thrown over the whole a slight vtil of
fitftion, and fu1 ftituted names and places accor
ding to my own fancy The principal characters
in this little tale are now configned to the filent
tomb—it can therefore hurt the feelings of no
one—and may, I flatter myfclf, be of fervice
to fome who arc fo unfortunate as to have
ncithtr friends to ad«$rL*ior um*erftanding to
duethem, througliThe variou- and unex
pected evils that attend a young and unprotect
ed woman in her frft entrance into life.
