Excerpt from The Story of My Life, Vol. 1 Not only lack of courage, but lack of time, delayed the fulfilment of my purpose, and held my biography in a nebu lous state. The daily business of life is imperative, and calls for immediate attention. I am always sorely pressed by demands upon my time that cannot be held in abeyance, and should probably have postponed the preparation of this book until it was too late, but for the advent of my friend and publisher.

Excerpt from Story of My Life, Vol. 4 With the exception of the last two chapters, these three volumes were printed at the same time with the first three volumes of "The Story of my Life" in 1896, therefore many persons are spoken of in them as still living who have since passed away, and others, mentioned as children, have since grown up. Reviews will doubtless, in general, continue to abuse the book, especially for its great length. But personally, if I am interested in a story, I like it to be a long one; and there is no obligation for any who dislike a long book to read this one: they may look at a page or two here and there, where they seem promising; or, better still, they can leave it quite alone: they really need have nothing to complain of. In the later volumes I have used letters for my narrative even more than in the former. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Story of My Life, Vol. 2 HE intense excitement of the anti-slavery reform, then approaching its crisis, made the pastoral relation, at that time, a most difficult one. The South was solid in its determination to maintain slavery at any cost. It scorned the idea of being limited to any territory, or of being kept within any bounds Robert G. Toombs of South Carolina declared on the floor of Congress, that he would yet call the roll of his slaves on Bunker Hill, and that the slave states would brook neither interference nor dictation. It began to be evident to 'the most superficial observer, that the country must eventually become all free or all slave, and, as the North had developed hostility toward this relic of barbarism that could not be silenced, and would not sur render, men and women alike looked forward to the future with anxiety, and wondered what the end would be.

Excerpt from Story of My Life, Vol. 1 IN the autumn of 1878, the desire to comfort and amuse one of my kindest friends during hours of wearing pain and sickness induced me to begin writing down some of the reminiscences of my life. As almost all those who shared my earlier interests and affections had passed away, I fancied at first that it would be im possible to rescue anything like a connected story from the great shipwreck of Time. But solitude helps remembrance and as I went on opening old letters and journals with the View of retracing my past life, it seemed to un fold itself to memory, and I found a wonderful interest in following once more the old track, with its almost forgotten pleasures and sorrows, though often reminded of the story of the old man who, when he heard for the first time the well-known adage, Hell is paved with good intentions, added promptly, Yes, and roofed with lost opportunities.
