Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Reports Entitled a Coat of Many Colors I deem it a duly I owe myself, the public and posterity, to give them a brief biography and autobiography. All desire to be acquainted with the private history of an author, and it is disrespectful to disappoint public curiosity. I will give a plain history of myself; I will speak the truth of myself and my Reports, for if I do not, others will. I will make this open confession of myself and my literary labours, even though it renders me liable to the charge of vanity and presumption. Others equal and even superior to me have set me the example, and I will profit by it. It is a vast happiness to possess the pleasures of the head, the only resources in which a man can indulge, without falling into excesses, and of which, he cannot be deprived by envy, malice, or the insolence of wealth, power or birth. I expect no other favor but that conferred on the merits of my professional battlings. I would have made it fuller in its proportions and symmetrical, but as I have but a short time to live, I was unwilling that posterity should be deprived of it, and that it should be buried with me. Many cities disputed the honor of giving birth to Homer, and I would prevent such dispute affecting myself when I shall be no more. I declare to you my kind readers that I was born in Union District - in that patriotic state, South Carolina, on the 14th of May, A. D., 1794. At my birth no declarations of war was declared amongst the nations of the earth - no ships wrecked on sea, nor hurricanes on land - neither earthquakes nor the falling of comets, affrighted the world - nor was any new planets discovered in the heavens - though an earthly one appeared. I emigrated to Georgia in the year A. D. 1820, and have resided there ever since. I was among the early settlers of Cobb County and ever since resided in and around Marietta, one of the most thriving cities in our enterprising and noble state.
