Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letter of Rufus F. Andrews For years you have waxed great; - your power has been as absolute within your sphere as that of the Khan of Tartary in his dominions; your will has been law, your frown a terror, and your favor a fortune to your followers and worshippers. They have regarded you with mingled awe and reverence, and accepted your teachings with the same blind credulity that characterized the devotion of the "bold believers" and "fire-eyed disputants" of the famed Mokanna. Be mine the task to expose your rank features, and show you unveiled to your dupes. Then let them and the world "judge, if sin with all its power to blur, Can add one vice to the foul thing you are." Our acquaintance commenced in the year 1857-8. I was then a young man in the pursuit of my avocation as a lawyer in this city, and you the editor and publisher of an influential public journal in the Capital of the State. I was unknown beyond the circles of the metropolis; your name was as familiar throughout the land as house-breaking to a burglar or perjury to a dicer. I went to Albany on professional business, and had the misfortune to make your acquaintance. You sought and received an introduction to me.
