Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Paul Clifford, Vol. 22
There is no immorality in a truth that enforces this question; for it is precisely those Offences which society cannot interfere with, that society requires fiction to expose. Society is right, though youth is reluctant to acknowledge it. Society can form only certain regulations necessary for its self-defence - the fewer the better punish those who invade, leave unquestioned those who respect them. But fiction follows truth into all the strongholds of convention strikes through the disguise, lifts the mask, bares the heart, and leaves a moral wherever it brands a falsehood.
