Excerpt from Recollections of My Own Times I began at my rural retreat in Brattleboro, Vermont, now eleven years ago (August 1, 1883), to indite these Recollections. Since that time anxious business and other cares have required all the attention my ability could exert. At last a season of comparative retirement from the actual strifes of business comes to me, offering cause to hope that it puts it in my power to complete what I then undertook. There are many projects and events of which I alone am now able adequately to relate. It will disclose motives, objects, and careers of abiding interest; and - as it has been said by those who chiefly have persuaded me to the task - will make more clear deeds upon which must rest the fame of men whose names are already esteemed of permanent historic value. They all are passed through this to the higher and eternal life. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Recollections of My Life and Times: An Autobiography I have selected from the Journal those portions which seemed most likely to interest the general reader, and as these are given in their chronological order they will be found to furnish a supplemental narrative. The same qualities are apparent throughout these manuscripts which distinguished the man in all his ways - kindliness and simplicity, an all-pervading love for Christ, and tender consideration towards his fellow-men. His object was not the establishment of a literary reputa tion, but to recall for his own profit, and to relate for the instruction of others, these simple recollections of a de voted life.

Excerpt from Memoirs of My Own Times, Vol. 1 of 3 The intentions, the integrity, and independence of my pen will, I hope, defend its humble productions from the unmerited fate of its persecuted master. I am, however, sensible, that the anticipations excited by these Memoirs, may be unpropitious to their effect, interspersed even as they are with public dpcuments and official correspondence of interesting character; yet I do promise myself that the transactions, anecdotes, facts, and reflections, which I re cord, will not be deemed altogether unworthy the attention of the citizen, the soldier, the patriot, and the statesman.

The particular gypsy? Circumstance to which I allude, Is this; that, while I am pensioner. Charged with having been In the regular receipt Of a sti pend from the court of Spain, and various sums have been specified to have been paid for me, on account of a pension fromthe year 1789 down to the year 1804 inclu sive, it is worthy of Observation, that neither in the whole course of that period, nor at any other time, amidst the frequent temptations Of a crisis, in which the interests Of Spain and the United States have been brought into col lision, has it been proved, or even attempted to be proved, that I have ever taken a single step, calculated to pro mote or gratify the views Of Spain; or that I have, di rectly or indirectly, rendered any service to the Spanish government, in return for the thousands and tens Of thou sands Of dollars, which it is represented they were SO prof fusely squandering for my benefit and aggrandisement.

Excerpt from Recollections and Reflections It is never worth while to publish writings which need not have been given to the world, and then to offer an apology for their publication. I do not seek, therefore, to excuse myself for writing this book. I will only say that nearly at the same time two firms of publishers applied to me for my memoirs, and soon afterwards the head of a third firm expressed his willingness to issue them. It has been a pleasure, not wholly free from sadness, to revive so many old associations. The experience of most people who have lived some time in the world is, I suppose, that they form, more or less unwittingly, certain conclusions which they themselves hold strongly, perhaps too strongly, and which they think may be of some use to others. If among my own conclusions there arc any which may be felt to suggest or emphasise the true course of public duty or wisdom, I cannot be sorry that I have made them known. But when I had finished the book, it was found to be a good deal longer than I had promised or the publishers had expected, and a part of the "Reflections" has, therefore, to my regret, been omitted. It will perhaps appear some day in another form. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from My Own Story: With Recollections of Noted Persons The significance of the saying (carlyle's, is it not?) that the story of any man's life would have interest and value, if truly told, is recognized, I think, by the most of us; yet each is apt to fancy at least one exception to the rule, namely, his own particular life. This certainly was the case with myself, even up to the time when I was induced - reluctantly for that reason - to undertake these memoirs. I have therefore been not a little surprised at the manner in which the chapters that appeared in recent num bers of the Atlantic Monthly have been received, and can only attribute it to whatever success I may have had in fulfilling the condition that points the saying.

Excerpt from Memoirs of His Own Time, Vol. 1 of 2: Including the Revolution, the Empire, and the Restoration The inaccuracy and want of truth in the multi tude of private Memoirs, with which we have been inundated, and with which cotemporary history was in a manner overwhelmed, had inspired me with insurmountable disgust. It seemed to me that my testimony would be a useless and slender tribute, and would be lost in that chaos into which so many rash Opinions, so many false statements, so many calumnies, dictated by the spirit of' re venge, will perhaps never suffer the light of truth to penetrate. In fact the number of those Memoirs is but very inconsiderable of which my honorable friend, the count de Segur, has given us so perfect a model. In venturing to imitate him. I yield to his counsels as well as to his warm solicitations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Reminiscences, Vol. 1 of 2 I feel sure that I shall not disappoint my readers when I make the preliminary announcement that these two volumes do not profess to be anything in the nature of an autobiography. One reason why I have not attempted an autobiography is that my life, in its own course, has been uneventful, and that I have no story to tell about it which could have any claim on public interest. Another reason is that it has been one of the happiest fortunes of my life to meet With a great many distinguished men and women about whom readers in general would be glad to hear anything that can be said in addition to what they know or have learned already. These volumes, therefore, are strictly reminiscences, recollections of the eminent persons with whom I have been brought into association, and not a record of my own other wise unimportant doings. I have not even arranged these volumes With any careful attention to strict chronological order. Naturally they group them selves to some extent with regard to the general sequence of my opportunities, but my main idea has.
