Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Fifty Years of My Life For some years past my wife and children have been asking me to give some account of the race from which I spring, and of myself, its living representative. A compliance with the first part of the request presented no great difficulty - the materials were at hand, and only wanted putting together. To do the rest of the bidding - to become the hero of my own tale - has not proved so easy a matter; for although I have "seen much of the world," literally and figuratively, it has not been my wont, as my family well know, to commit to writing my thoughts on things seen, heard, or done. On two occasions, it is true, I kept regular diaries, but these had reference to journeys which lay out of the ordinary track of travellers, and have already been laid before the public I was set, as it were, to furnish the "tale of bricks" without any allowance of straw.
