I'd like to speak a message to the South about this book. I've a great deal more to say to my own people than to our critics." Ruffin rose, thrust his hands in his pockets, walked to the window, turned suddenly and faced his host.

It may seem rash and indefensible to criticize lectures upon the platform of the lecturer; but, as the audience can inflict whatever penalty they please upon the speaker, he will so far assume responsibility as to say that amusement is not the highest object of a single lecture, and when sought by managers as the desirable object of a whole course, the lecture-room becomes a theatre of dissipation; surely not so bad as other forms of dissipation, but yet so distinctly marked, and so pernicious in its influence, as to be comparatively unworthy of general support.
