Book Description
Excerpt from Life of Jefferson S. Batkins, Member From Cranberry Centre As it not unfrequently happens in relating an extended story, the same idea will be repeated with a slight variation of words. I apologize for these repetitions and tautological suggestions. It is not an easy task to write a man's life, and to adhere strictly to the truth, particularly when the man's life he is writing is his own. This is my first attempt; if I ever write my life again, or what may' occur after this date, I will endeavor to improve, and say more in less words. As I have learned, it is much easier to write a long speech full of rhetorical figures, than a short speech including only an intelligent narration of facts, and what Mr. Birch. Called logical inferences and con elusions. What is true of speeches is more true of books. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
