Throughout his life she was his guiding star--about as evil a star as could have arisen upon any man's horizon; the fatal star that was to light him down to doom. Let me thank Providence, as I do, that I was so fortunate as to escape its baneful influences, although I admit that they attracted me not a little.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
