Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Attila, Vol. 1 of 2: A Romance
IN giving this book to the public I have but little to explain. The reader who takes it up may expect to find something respecting the Princess Honoria. He will, however, find nothing. All that we know of her history is uninteresting, ex cept to those who love to dwell upon the prurien cies of a' degraded state of society: all that we know of her character is disgusting to such as love purity and dignity of mind. It would be tedious to the reader to explain why the author has thought fit to alter several names of the persons acting prominent parts in the story'of Attila. In so doing he has consulted principally his own car; and in a few other deviations which he has made from the course of that great monarch's history, he has con sulted his own convenience. In regard, however, to the change which he has represented as taking place in the demeanour of Attila, his abandonment of the simple habits which at first distinguished him, and his dereliction from the calm equanimity which he displayed in his early intercourse with.
