ADVERTISEMENT. THE following tale is built upon a fact that occurred about the middle of the last century. I have changed the personages, and endeavoured to clothe the story with the colours of the imagination*. * It is but just that the reader should be informed, that a novel has been already written on this theme, and printed in the year 1743, under the title of "Memoirs of an Unfortunate Young Nobleman, Returned from a Thirteen Years' Slavery in America." b |
