But enough has lately been written upon this subject to render a general description of the system unnecessary in this place ; although it does not appear to be commonly known that even the most flourishing and wealthy merchants, as well as private individuals of otherwise irreproach- able character, were, in numbers incredible, not only privy to, but actually practitioners of, the diabolical art.
