pubOne.info present you this new edition. This my first novel was written several years ago, and published (without any revision by me) first in a ladies' magazine under the name of "Dorothea, " and afterwards in book form as "Dolly. " For reasons not necessary to state here, all control over the book had passed from my hands. It has been for some time out of print; but, having at last obtained control of the copyright, I have made such corrections as seemed advisable, given it the name I originally intended for it, and now issue it through my regular publishers.
