Excerpt from Shadow Land, or the Seer IN presenting the following pages to the public, the Author feels some delicacy on account of the apparently autobiographic aspect it may be supposed to wear; but she begs the reader to bear in mind, that she has not presumed to present her waking experience to their Observation - like a child with a magic lantern, she has only thrown shadows upon the surface, keeping the substance still in the back ground.
