Tale Of A Physician Or The Seeds And Fruits Of Crime PDF Download

Excerpt from Tale of a Physician, or the Seeds and Fruits of Crime, Vol. 1 of 3 The following series of strange and startling and tragical events, which I am now called upon to make public for the first time, are, even to the minutest details, founded upon facts, with only a thin veil between the reader and the real character whose temperaments, circumstances, temptations, virtues, vices, and crimes, are herein truthfully recorded. The principal facts concerning the manifold causes which developed the "Mysterious Association of Criminals" in New York and vicinity, came to my knowledge about twenty-five years ago. The investigating reader, who is curious to know more on this interesting point, is referred to a volume by the author, entitled 'The Present Age and Inner Life," pp. 259-265. The strange incident therein narrated will repay perusal. It is believed that so long as mothers and daughters shall exist, such disclosures as are made in this volume can not but be productive of the best results. Not less are these fearful scenes important to fathers and sons. Because, if to be fore-warned is to be fore-armed, these horrible and truthful pictures of the causes of crime, and these faithful delineations of the ways of professional criminals, will serve as beacon lights and guideboards by which maidenhood and manhood can avoid the evil and choose the good.
