Excerpt from Mr. Absalom Billingslea: And Other Georgia Folk

The author felt that it might be proper thus to preface about the people among whom he was reared, whom he has always loved and admired, and not less for some oddities of deportment and dialect with which by personal and professional intercourse he was made familiar. From this same people, of every condition of prosperity and intelligence, have sprung as many, he believes (residents not only in Georgia, but in Alabama, Mississippi, and Texas), as from those of any other region of like extent, who using the edu cational opportunities which their fathers were ena bled to procure for them, and inheriting their loyal ty to truth, justice, and all manful behests, have be come eminent in Church and State, and who in so cial circles, whether in their own regions or elsewhere, rank with the best.
