Excerpt from The Disgrace to the Family: A Story of Social Distinctions It has been said publicly that I have levelled at the Aristocracy in this book, and, if this really be so, I must acknowledge that I have fired unconsciously. Whatever my political sentiments may be, (and I have put forth none in the following pages, ) they are not borrowed, but founded upon study and thought. I do not shoot with another man's powder, neither do I conceive that a work of fiction is a fit vehicle for political opinions and arguments, hence I have taken care to avoid all disputed theories, confining myself to what I conceived to be an exposition of the emptiness of certain widely condemned and widely practised distinctions, alike petty, and provocative of social discord.
