Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Early Biography: Travels and Adventures of Rev. James Champlin, Who Was Born Blind; With a Description of the Different Countries Through Which He Has Traveled in America, and of the Different Institutions, Etc;, Visited by Him, Also an Appendix, Which Contains Extracts F The favorable reception of the first edition by the public, which in a few months exhausted the one thousand copies, has induced me to offer a new edition in a revised and improved form, for their favor and patronage. In taking the liberty to present this little work to the public, for their perusal, I think it probable that a representation of some of my motives for doing so will not be amiss. Then, in the first place, I would inform my readers, that if I have made any advancement in the world, either in learning or virtue, it has been chiefly by my own perseverance; and having traveled Considerably through the United States, it has been the opinion of some of my friends that I ought to prepare a work of this kind; not for their own individual gratification, but for the benefit and interest of others, who like myself, though in different circumstances, may be struggling under difficulties. I have therefore, through their solicitations, though in bad health, and having many other things to attend to, prepared the work. Were this the only reason for writing my biography, its appearance would hardly be thought admissable; but when its pages are examined, I hope it will not only be found to contain some useful descriptions and statistical remarks, but many practical and useful lessons in the principles of morality. The author, therefore, trusts that the work may be read in schools with profit to its readers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
