She went to South America, under a personal guarantee from Simon Bolivar, that he would pay her ten thousand doUars a year, if she could not make it herself, and provided it could be got out of the public treasury. It is not at all my feshion, as I have told my readers, to select specific moralities as texts to be illustrated by narra- tive and example. I have always held that the interests of morals are better served in general by painting vice and virtue as they occur in actual life — strange...ly mixed with one another — frequently struggling together for the mastery in the same breast— -oin: virtues sometimes leading to mis- fortune, sometimes degraded by weakness— our vices often made splendid by union vnih noble qualities, and not always receiving their judgment here. But in the present instance, my purpose has been to re- late a series of actual adventures, which I happened to witness, and which 1 felt myself bound to record purely for the sake of the regular and useful moral lesson which every character and incident unfolds, and the strict poetical jus-> tice with which falsehood and vanity brou^t upon them- selves their ov^n punishment.
