Excerpt from My Life
I trust I need hardly make excuse for having no famous men to speak of, or for mentioning plain, unknown friends for what they have done. As with minor people, so with minor events to some extent they are necessary in the illustration of a life. There are many things which would naturally have been written first in letters to friends; but their being given here seems to come to the same thing as when such letters are reproduced by biographers.
The better to allow of discovering any onward movement, or any sequence of cause and effect.
