Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Palace-Prison: Or, the Past and the Present In these days, when fact is so often wrought into fiction, it may be no recommendation of a story to say that it is a true one. Nevertheless, such is the prefatory statement to be made concerning "A Palace-Prison." If any readers sympathy is attracted to the lovely girl whose misadventures are here related, it certainly will not be lessened by the fact that she did, and does, exist. If incredulity is aroused by any of the seemingly incredible incidents of the narrative, the answer must be that they are facts, within the authors personal knowledge: the names and the groupings of incident being the sole imaginative portion. Our American life wears and weakens too many men and women, not to make the management of cases of nervous prostration and the beginning of unsoundness in brain a theme of intense interest to thousands. When we send our loved ones, - usually, too, those of tenderest and most sensitive susceptibility, - to one or another of the splendid great "retreats" or "asylums," hoping that a few weeks or months of rest will restore them to themselves and to us, what is the general result? Are they ever dismissed as "cured," - unless by the direct order of those who pay for keeping them there?
