Sheppard Lee V2 is a novel written by Robert Montgomery Bird. It is the second volume of the two-part series and was published in 1836. The book tells the story of Sheppard Lee, a young man who has the ability to switch bodies with others. In this volume, Lee continues his adventures in various bodies, experiencing different lifestyles and social classes. He becomes a wealthy plantation owner, a poor farmer, and even a slave. Along the way, he learns important lessons about life and the human condition. The novel is a satirical commentary on American society in the early 19th century, with themes of social inequality, racism, and the pursuit of wealth. It is a unique and thought-provoking work of literature that offers a fascinating glimpse into the cultural and social landscape of its time.While I was making these virtuous resolutions, the faithful Abel Snipe came to my bedside, and told me there were divers suffering creatures, widows with nine small children, widowers with fourteen, sick old women, and starving old men, in great need of relief; and so affecting was the picture he drew of their griefs, that the tears rolled from my eyes, and I bade him, if there was any money he could honestly lay his hands on, carry comfort to them all.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
