Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from United States Bonds; Or Duress by Federal Authority: A Journal of Current Events During an Imprisonment of Fifteen Months, at Fort Delaware This Is a private journal. It was not originally intended for publication. It was written to preserve the memory of events, chiefly for my own satisfaction, and the information of my children. In reviewing the memoranda, I. find a number of things which will be interesting to my parishioners, both of the past and the present, and to many other personal friends; and some things, also, may be acceptable to the public. My object in printing is neither pecuniary, nor ostentatious; but, simply, to gratify inquirers who can have no access to the manuscript, and to give permanency to what many do not wish to be lost. I have no doubt the book will fall into the hands of critics. Some will object to the historical statements, and the revelation of facts; others would like a more thrilling, or imaginative style; and strangers will feel no interest in the family allusions and frequent reference to self; and especially will they censure the "want of taste" which gives publicity to private ejaculations. For such readers the work is not intended. My friends (hundreds of whom were fellow-sufferers in "the pen") will be particularly interested in these personal items; and they would regard the journal as essentially defective without them.
