Myself a Specific moral purpose, This, purpose, in Anna st.-ives, was to teach fortitude to females: in Hugh Trevor, to induce youth (or their parents) carefully to inquire into the morality of the profession which each might, intend for hink 2 self: and, 'in the present Work, 'to, induce all humane and thinking men, such as legislators ought to he and often are, to consider the; p general and the adventitious value' 5} of human life, and the moral ten: 3 deney of our penal laws.' C -to exemplify this doctrine, it was necessary that the hero of thefable should offend those lav'vs, that his life should be in jeopardy, and that he should possess not only, a strong leaven of virtue but high powers of mind, such as to induce the heart to shrink, at the recollec-j tion that such a man might have been legally put to death.
