Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Happy Humanity
I They are autobiographical in a degree not corresponding with my intention nor justified by the eventfulness, the adventurousness, the narrative importance of my life. Yet, as the editors of this book kindly suggested, they may have a value and an interesting quality, by showing how private events brought me to my present at titude and convictions. I tell these individual particulars reluctantly, for what really is of worth and value is only their general significance. Things personal are bound to vanish, and the less attention we pay them the better, and in telling this story I beg to observe that I do not think my facts im portant in themselves but only instructive in show ing the in?uence that outward and personal events.
