[Gutenberg 38265] • My Life in Many States and in Foreign Lands, Dictated in My Seventy-Fourth Year

Excerpt from My Life in Many States and in Foreign Lands: Dictated in My Seventy-Fourth Year

And so I have tried to compress a story of my life into this book. With modesty, I may say that the whole story could not be told in a Single volume. I have tried not to be prolix, keeping in mind while preparing this record of events, all of which I saw, and part of which I was, that there is a limit to the patience of readers.
