Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Romance of the Forest
Pierre de la Motte was a gentleman, descended from an ancient house of France. He was a man whose passions often overcame his reason, and, fora time, silenced his conscience; but, though the image of virtue, which Nature had impressed upon his heart, was sometimes obscured by the passing in?uence of vice, it was never wholly oh literated. With strength of mind sufficient to have withstood temptation, he would have been a good man; as it was, he was always a weak, and sometimes a vicious member of society: . Yet his mind was active, and his imagination Vivid.
