Excerpt from Indian Infanticide: Its Origin, Progress, and SuppressionCustom seems to have given almost a prescriptive right to the public to expect something in the form of an introduction, when a new work is presented to them, while it has placed an author under a corresponding ob ligation to offer some prefatory remarks, either apologetic, or explanatory, or both. In the present case, this custom is the more readily complied with, that the author is altogether unknown to the public, and scarcely less so the subject of which he has attempted to treat, to a large majority of them. It is, therefore, the more necessary that he should at the outset explain why he has been in duced to obtrude himself and his subject on their notice.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
