Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Records and Reminiscences Personal and General It has been suggested to me that I should write an "introduction." Formidable affair that. And why? Surely an "introduction" argues both parties unknown to one another, which, as regards the public and this present scribe, is certainly not the case. Neither upon a short nor upon a long acquaintance would I so far presume as to drop in when not wanted, affecting, after the manner of the very ancient Paul Pry, to "hope I don´t intrude." Heaven forbid that I should be so lost to all sense of humour as to take advantage of an amiably disposed public and insist upon "telling them the story of my life." Yet in these "reminiscences," which must of necessity be to a certain extent somewhat egotistical, as being autobiographical, I trust will be found not a little that is interesting or amusing, or both in combination. This concoction of mine I fear is rather a homely brew, and whether the worse or the better for that, it is not for me to decide, but such as it is, with all its demerits, all its imperfections on its head, I place it, diffidently, before my readers.
