The Legacy of Cain

by Wilkie Collins




To

MRS. HENRY POWELL BARTLEY:

Permit me to add your name to my name, in publishing this novel.
The pen which has written my books cannot be more agreeably
employed than in acknowledging what I owe to the pen which has
skillfully and patiently helped me, by copying my manuscripts for
the printer.
