“This book is intended to be miscellaneous, with a noble disdain ofregularity.”—Obiter Dicta.
“How then does a man, be he good or bad, big or little, make hisMemoirs interesting? To say that the one thing needful isindividuality, is not quite enough. To have an individuality is nosort of distinction, but to be able to make it felt in writing isnot only distinction, but under favorable circumstances,immortality.”—The Same.
AUTHOR’S NOTE.
One who reads this book through will have as rough a mental journey ashis physical nature would undergo in riding over a corduroy road in anold stage-coach. It makes no pretension to either scholarship or elegantdiction.
