MISSION WORK IX BETHNAL GREEN. I Was acquainted at this time with a young' curate, with whem I had somo time boforo made a pedestrian tour through somo of the most beautiful portions of the beautiful county of Kent, and who had lately exchanged his first curacy at Haverstock Hill for a similar engagement in the district of SL Philip, Bcthnal Green. On tho occasion of my first visit to him after this change, our conversation turned upon hemo missions, and I was led to make some remarks, derived from my own observation, upon the incompetency of many of thc Beripture-readora, whose mission-fields were the' industrial quarters of our large towns, for the accomplishment of the end for which they wero appointed. They may be tolerably well qualified to deal with the indifferent and the ignorant, I observed; but they are utterly incompetent to remove the doubts or meet the arguments of the many intelligentmen to bo found in largo towns who reject the ISible as a divine revelation. They way be useful nn.xiliaries of the clergy in visiting the poor inein- Ihts of u congregation, and tolerably successful in bringing into the fold of the Chureh the ignorant and the indifferent; but they don't realize my idea nf whut a Christian missionary in the homo field hhould Ihi in tin ngc like the present. There is great difliculty in obtaining men whe would, returned the curate. It is true they are not very highly paid; but many of them, notably those employed by the City Missionary Society, are as well paid as a largo proportion of curates, whe are drawn from a higher and more educated class. The Churehes, said I, in continuance of the thought that was in my mind, send to the ignorant heathen of Africa and Malaysia men qualified by education for the ministr...

Excerpt from John Sherman's Recollections of Forty Years in the House, Senate and Cabinet: An Autobiography These volumes do contain the true history of the chief financial measures of the United States government during the past forty years. My h0pe is that those who read them will be able to correct the wild delusions of many honest citizens who became infected with the greenback craze, or the free coinage of silver. My chief regret is that the limit of these volumes did not permit me to extend my narrative to the memorable battles and marches of the Civil War, nor to a more general notice of my associates who distinguished themselves in civil life. The omission of military narrative is admirably compensated by the memoirs of the great commanders on either side, and better yet by the vast collection and publication, by the United States, of the Records of the Rebellion. The attempt to include in these volumes my estimate of distinguished men still living who participated in the events narrated would greatly extend them and might lead to injustice.

Excerpt from John Sherman's Recollections of Forty Years in the House, Senate and Cabinet: An Autobiography These Recollections grew out of a long deferred purpose to publish a selection of my speeches on public questions, but in collecting them it became manifest that they should be accompanied or preceded by a statement of the circumstances that attended their delivery. The attempt to furnish such a statement led to a review of the chief events of my public life, which covers the period extending from 1854 to the present time. The sectional trouble that preceded the Civil War, the war itself with all its attendant horrors and sacrifices, the abolition of slavery, the reconstruction measures, and the vast and unexampled progress of the republic in growth and development since the war, presented a topic worthy of a better historian than I am. Still, as my life was interwoven with these events, I concluded that it was better that I state my recollection of what I saw or heard or did in those stirring times rather than what I said. Whether this conclusion was a wise one the reader must judge. Egotism is a natural trait of mankind. If it is exhibited in a moderate degree we pardon it with a smile; if it is excessive we condemn it as a weakness. The life of one man is but an atom, but if it is connected with great events it shares in their dignity and importance. Influenced by this reasoning I concluded to postpone the publication of my speeches except so far as they are quoted or described in these memoirs. When I entered upon their preparation the question arose whether the book to be written was to be of my life, including ancestry and boyhood, or to be confined to the financial history of the United States with which I was mainly identified. This was settled by the publishers, who were more interested in the number of-copies they could sell than in the finances of the United States.

Excerpt from Recollections of Forty Years Service My relations often suggested that I might write an amusing, and possibly interesting, little book about my early days in the Service. I therefore put together a small work, 'A Subaltern in the Royals, ' and had intended publishing it. But last winter one of the most renowned commanders of modern days, who has done more towards making the British Army what it ought to be than any one who has administered its affairs for many generations, suggested that I might give some useful professional information by publishing the whole of my experiences during the many years I had the honour to belong to the British Army. As it was owing to the assistance and encouragement which that commander - viz., Viscount Wolseley - always gave me to lecture or do anything which might be useful to the Service, I considered I ought to try what I could do as an author. 'Recollections of Forty Years' Service' is the result. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
