Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Landmarks of a Literary Life: 1820-1892 Notwithstanding the truth which underlies the French proverb, "Qui s´excuse s´accuse" I think it is often wise to own one´s fault without waiting for the arraignment of another accuser. I find that in the following pages the personal pronoun "I" is more obtrusive than I thought it would be when, in my opening chapter, I alluded to my intention of keeping it very much in the background. These recollections have been produced under the impediments of defective sight and an afflicted right hand; consequently the handwriting was often so execrable that my dim eyes read it with difficulty, and the patience of printers must have been sorely tried. Therefore I could not give my work the prolonged personal revision which every manuscript demands from its author. Yet, on reflection, I feel how nearly impossible it would have been to relate what I had to tell without myself appearing on the scene.
