The Author says in the preface:
"The matters here treated have been on my heart for many years.
Heart-sickening facts have come to my notice within the past few
months, and I feel it my duty to send out this warning in regard to
what I consider the first and greatest danger of our family and
national life. I believe the prevention or destruction of unborn human
life to be, par-excellence, the American sin, and that, if not
checked, it will sooner or later be our calamity. This sin has its
roots in a low and false idea of marriage on the part of some, and in
others it is fostered by false standards of modesty."
Chicago Journal says:
"To the earnest man and woman everywhere, who has watched the reckless
manner in which marriages are contracted, the wicked way in which the
responsibilities are shifted and ignored, and the slow and sure
defilement of society because the criminal classes are allowed to
propagate their vile species, while Christian households and moral
parents ignore their duty to this and to the next world, this book is
almost like a voice from heaven."
