It was one of Charles Brockden Brown's. "I read it some years ago," he said; "and I remember it made a great impression upon me at the time. It appears to me to be written with wonderful power of enchaining the attention. I could not lay it down until it was finished." "Exactly as I was affected," said Anne.
This of city-burning has now become a habit with me more enchaining and infinitely more debased than ever was opium to the smoker, or alcohol to the drunkard.
