Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from Octavia: The Octoroon Aunt Dinah, Simon's mother, was rather pre possessing in appearance, and was the plantation mammy, nurse and midwife, as well as the keeper of the orphan asylum for all the little pickaninnies on the plantation. Every place of any size had this character. It is often and truly said that it is the ambition of negro men to be preachers and of the women to be midwives. Simon had interceded with his master and the overseer to exempt Elsie from farm work, and to appoint her seamstress, who had several assist ants on the farm. She was very apt with the needle and scissors, cutting and making any gar ment she wished, and doing it all with the nee dle, this being before the introduction of sewing machines on plantations. In the eyes of Simon and his mother Elsie was a piece of perfection, a paragon of virtue and chastity, two possessions rare among negroes of both sexes. Elsie was the belle of the plantation, having a large number of suitors, among them two of Colonel R.'s slaves, Brutus and Casar.

Book Description
"Octavia the Quadroon tells the story of a woman who refused to be limited by society's perceptions of who and what she should be, The novel was shocking in its day and broke taboos concerning race and gender. It is the story of a man who thought he could buy a woman as easily as he "could buy a horse." Octavia's reaction is not what he (or readers) expect"--
