These characteristics will
be found illustrated in the present legend, an object which it
somewhat contemplates, apart from the mere story with which they
are interwoven.
A few words more in respect to our heroine, Margaret Cooper. It
is our hope and belief, that she will be found a real character by
most of our readers. She is drawn from the life, and with a severe
regard to the absolute features of the original. In these days of
"strong-minded women," even more certainly than when the portrait
was first taken, the identity of the sketch with its original will
be sure of recognition. Her character and career will illustrate
most of the mistakes which are made by that ambitious class, among
the gentler sex, who are now seeking so earnestly to pass out from
that province of humiliation to which the sex has been circumscribed
from the first moment of recorded history. What she will gain by
the motion, if successful, might very well be left to time, were
it not that the proposed change in her condition threatens fatally
some of her own and the best securities of humanity.
