Shocking!The Boston Post thus speaks of 'Uncle Tom's Cabin':— 'The gross misrepresentation of facts in 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' is not a greater violation of fair dealing than the vivid descriptions of sensuality are of female delicacy(!!) We believe the book was the offspring of malice and avarice(!!)—first, to gratify a fanatical enmity; and, secondly, to put money in the purse of the authoress'(!!!!) |
