"The author has endeavored, while exposing to the world the dark side of the picture, to give it no deeper shade than the light of truth will warrent. And although she has endured innumerable wrongs, she can say in conscious truth, that her only object in giving the world this history, is, that the unsuspecting may not be entrapped by the apparent virtue and rectitude of the people called Shakers.".
