Excerpt from Harry Harson: Or, the Benevolent Bachelor The date of the following tale is fixed many years back, and since then great and important changes have been made in the law of this State. Imprisonment for debt has been abolished, and many forms and proceedings which arc alluded to in these pages have been swept away by statutory enactment. The whole body of law and practice has been simplified and remodelled, but whether it has been improved is a matter of no little discussion, both by the bar and bench, which discussion probably will not terminate until all those who are familiar with the old forms and usages shall have ceased to frequent their former haunts, or have gone to their graves. The characters who figure in this book are not all fictitious. Some are still living, but the greater portion of them have played their part in life, and the curtain has fallen, aud shut out all that the world ever has known or ever will know of their foibles or their virtues. Many of the scenes, too, arc real, and for a time made a deep and painful impression upon the public mind, but the waves of time have rolled on, and effaced them from the memories of all except a few whom they still haunt with a lingering feeling of pain.
