Excerpt from Recollections of a Varied Life Mr. Howells once said to me: Every man's life is interesting - to himself. I suppose that is true, though in the cases of some men it seems a difficult thing to understand. At any rate it is not because of personal interest in my own life that I am writing this book. I was perfectly sincere in wanting to call these chapters The Auto biography of an Unimportant Man, but on reflection I remembered Franklin's wise saying that whenever he saw the phrase without vanity I may say, some peculiarly vain thing was sure to follow. I am seventy years old. My life has been one of unusually varied activity. It has covered half the period embraced in the republic's existence. It has afforded me opportunity to see and share that development of physical, intellectual, and moral life conditions, which has been perhaps the most marvelous recorded in the history of mankind.

Excerpt from Recollections of My Life, Vol. 3 of 3 This morning found us off the lofty, far-extending ridges of Teneriffe. Although the day was cloudy, the panorama that presented itself was very interesting, and new ln its features. Picturesquely did the long serrated ridge of the volcanic mountain display itself, with its sharp angular summit, its pointed Needles which, springing as it were from an extraneous nature, gazed up towards heaven from among the dark clouds, sometimes like the menacing finger of a giant, sometimes like the tower of a lofty ruin. Various deep rifts of volcanic origin extend down the heights, casting their deep shadows over the picture, even to the boiling sea. Between these, and flowing gently down from the black peaks of rock to the ocean, are the layers of cold lava. Thousands of years ago they caused death now Victorious nature (as on the ridges of Vesuvius) pursues her upward course over the vanquished lava. That the volcano has long been silent one may see by the fresh turf which creeps over the red earth almost to the top of the highest summit; by the pine woods, which force a way for themselves among the picturesque masses of rock and finally by the numerous houses and hamlets which, scattered among fields of well-ordered husbandry, enliven the sombre scene in a cheerful manner far up thc height. The whole resembles the northern coast of Madeira: one finds the same red-coloured soil, the same turf growing on the mountains, the same dusky colouring in the masses of rock; only, in addition to these.

Excerpt from Rembling Recollections I have reached my anecdotage after many years of hard work and varied experience, and my friends listen very kindly to my stories of the changes that have come to London since I entered it in 1859. They do more than listen: they suggest that it would be no bad idea to set my recollections down in book form and seek to interest a wider circle. I have done so; and present them to you in all modesty, without claiming for them any of the special interest that attaches to the life of soldier or statesman, or any of the gifts that belong of right to the life story of a man of letters. My little record is of changing times, of disappearing landmarks, of men and women who were much esteemed by your fathers when they went to the play, of colleagues who have worked by my side on the City Corporation, of which I have been a member since 1878. I have set it all down in simple fashion, as one man speaks to another. If such a plain tale can please you I shall indeed be pleased and, if it cannot, I must be content with the pleasure I have derived from recalling old times, old associations, and old friends.

Excerpt from Recollections After Fifty Years This album is my contribution to the semi-centennial celebration held this year. It was here that I launched out in business for myself and I owe much to the pioneers who helped me to find myself. Sometimes I wish that I had spent fifty years here instead of five. By remaining here I would have gathered less of material things and less of stress and heartbreak. Several hundred copies of this little work have been printed for free distribution and I trust that these pictures from a memory extending into the dim past may find a place among your cherished souvenirs.

Excerpt from Recollections of a Varied Career It may seem presumptuous for a man of ordinary talent, such as I esteem myself, to write his Memoirs; the only good excuse, perhaps, being that his experiences have been out of the ordinary. I began to write simply with the view of leaving a record for my descendants; but as I wrote, it seemed to me that few lives had covered as wide a field as my own. My public experience, - as a soldier in time of war, a Member of Congress while great questions were under consideration, and a diplomat, also in war time, - would be hard to equal in variety; and my private life covers invention in important lines, and a business career, commencing as an employee and closing as the head of a large industrial establishment, perhaps the largest in Massachusetts that is owned by its managers. I venture to believe that a portion of the great public may be interested in my story; but if not, no harm is done, as the book will serve the purpose for which it was originally intended.

Few anecdotes and explanations which occurred to me in the course of a perusal of the earlier publication. In the political opinions I first ex pressed, in relation to the past, the present, or the future, as I feel no alteration I have made no change. Whether they were right or wrong, they were and are sincerely entertained and honestly told, and it is with a deep sense of satisfaction I now gratefully acknowledge that, with perhaps a single exception, they were received in a. Frank and kindly spirit, both by those who generally agree with, and those who altogether dissent from, them. There have been, perhaps, few autobiographers who, upon the whole, have had less occasion to complain of.

Excerpt from Forty Years' Recollections of Life, Literature, and Public Affairs, Vol. 1 of 2: From 1830 to 1870 In the early summer of the year 1832 a young man who had just completed his eighteenth year arrived in London, from Brussels, where he had passed the previous four years in study. He had high hopes, great ambition, vigorous health, and immense inexperience. He had, moreover, a few - a very few - pounds in his pocket, and a small - a very small - credit at an army agency in Westminster, which last was a fund which was only to be available upon occasion of the utmost urgency. This youth had come to London to make, or endeavour to make, his way in literature and journalism. He had once thought of studying law, but had abandoned the idea. He had no taste for theology and divinity and did not think that he was fitted for the pulpit. He had speculated on the possibility of becoming a physician, but did not think on cool reflection that that was his true vocation; and he had an unwise objection to trade. His ancestors, as far back as he could trace them, had all been soldiers, but he lacked interest to obtain a commission, or having had interest it had slipped from his grasp, though he would not have objected to a military career.
