Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of the City of Ripon: And of Its Founder, David P. Mapes, With His Opinion of Men and Manners of the Day In writing this history of myself and of the towns I have aided in building, I have frequently been asked to write it out and get it into book form, so if there is anything in my long life and experience worth keeping on the shelves of the book-case or taking down and reading, here it is; and you who have had my acquaintance will see that the book is the Old Captain right over. I have not attempted to show the scholar or the statesman, but simply to give a true history of myself, and times as I have seen them, for I have learned that they who attempt to pass themselves off for something they are not, are discovered at once by the discriminating public. I once heard the celebrated clergyman, Orvil Dewey, preach, in the city of New York, a sermon from the text "Truth," and he showed most clearly that in all our acts of life we must be truthful or the world would see that we had not the truth in our souls; even the mere child will detect the putting on of airs. So here it is as thoughts have come to me and I have penned them, and you, critics, take it and deal gently with the old man, for such now they call me, if I do feel young. I have written this without gloves, for I meant it should come barehanded if the hand may appear. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
