"Sheppard Lee, Written By Himself" is a satirical work from the early years of the American Republic. It was written in the form as an autobiography and acquired wide acclaim after publishing. The story tells about a young man wishing to find a buried treasure. Instead, he finds the power to transfer his soul into other men's bodies. This results in a picaresque journey through early American pursuits of happiness. But every new form disappoints him. Lee comes to the conclusion that everything in America, even virtue and vice, are interchangeable; everything is an object and has its price.

Cathy N. Davidson offers a completely corrected edition, with a new introduction, of Charlotte Temple, the most widely read novel in America until Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin. Charlotte Temple tells the story of a young English girl, whose liaison with a British officer led her to Revolutionary America, where she was abandoned and died giving birth to an illegitimate child. Though no evidence exists to prove the existence of a real Charlotte, the author insisted that it was a "tale of truth" and wrote it to be "of service to [the]...young and unprotected woman in her first entrance into life."
