BIOGRAPHY OF [Illustration: Victoria C. Woodhull,] BY THEODORE TILTON. [Illustration: The Golden Age] TRACTS. No. 3. Victoria C. Woodhull. A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH. BY THEODORE TILTON. "_He that uttereth a slander is a fool._" —SOLOMON: Prov. x. 18. PUBLISHED AT THE OFFICE OF THE GOLDEN AGE, 9 Spruce St., New York. 1871. _Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1871, by Theodore Tilton in the Office of the Librarian of Congress at Washington._ MR. TILTON'S ACCOUNT OF MRS. WOODHULL. "_He that uttereth a slander is a fool._" —SOLOMON: Prov. x. 18. I shall swiftly sketch the life of Victoria Claflin Woodhull; a young woman whose career has been as singular as any heroine's in a romance; whose ability is of a rare and whose character of the rarest type; whose personal sufferings are of themselves a whole drama of pathos; whose name (through the malice of some and the ignorance of others) has caught a shadow in strange contrast with the whiteness of her life; whose position as a representative of her sex in the greatest reform of modern times renders her an object of peculiar interest to her fellow-citizens; and whose character (inasmuch as I know her well) I can portray without color or tinge from any other partiality save that I hold her in uncommon respect.
