Paperback, [EAN: 9781331657699], Forgotten Books, Forgotten Books, Book, [PU: Forgotten Books], Forgotten Books, Excerpt from Outlines of Human LifeThose who have confidence enough to attempt to publish their lives must, in general I think, be led on to the undertaking either by supposing their memoirs of sufficient importance to engage public attention, or from an urgent wish to exculpate themselves or friends from certain unfavorable imputations, to which the peculiarities of their condition may render them obnoxious.

Which of the two have preponderated with me, in the present publication, my impartial readers will determine from the following considerations submitted to their judgment.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
