The right Of defining one's position seems to be a very sacred privilege in America, and I must avail myself Of it, in entering upon the novel business Of this lecture. Several leading and influential journals have more than once called for a lecture On Lola Montez, and as it is reasonably supposed that I am about as well acquainted With that eccentric indi vidual (as the newspapers call her) as any lady in this country, the task Of such an undertaking has fallen upon me.
