FIRST PREFACE.

Isola demands the practice of the true laws of the only true God.

The drama demands Justice for all living things, from Ruler to Subject, of either sex, and for the brute Creation.

It advocates the Reign of Truth and the destruction of Humbug.

Look at the World and what the latter has produced!

Let Truth take the place of The Lie.

Let rational laws in Church and State prevail, fashioned in accordance with the laws of the Universe.

Shall Progress be deterred by antiquated ideas and opinions founded on imperfect Knowledge?

No. The antiquated ideas and opinions must be swept away. The result will be Freedom.

Florence Dixie.

1877.
