Excerpt from The Shady Side: Or Life in a Country Parsonage Nor, again, need any afiirm this to be a book of fiction. While it is not averred that every incident occurred in the connection here presented, thus much may be ventured; that if any scenes seem to the reader to be drawn from fancy, and not quite true to nature, they are, doubtless, the literal, unvarnished inci dents Of veritable history. Indeed, so faithful is the picture to truth, that it is quite possible the originals may start up, here and there, aggrieved at what they deem an unauthorized exposure of their features to the world at large. To any such, the writer would say, in all sincerity, that, so far as her own history supplied materials for illustration, while she has much exten usted, she has set down naught in malice; - sure, meanwhile, of her motive, so to set forth fact, as to awaken attention to existing evils, and stimulate those who have the power, to apply the remedy. With this end, these simple annals of Parsonage life, written hastily, under the pressure of multiform cares.
