Autobiography of REV. Abel C. Thomas: Including Recollections of Persons, Incidents, and Places - Couverture souple
Présentation de l'éditeur
This Book was written by repeated solicitation of personal friends, whose partiality for the author may have biassed their judgment in regard to the general interest of the publication. It was commenced in the early part of November last, and pleasantly occupied such winter-hours as could be spared from current duties. There are many difficulties in writing a self-history, not the least of which is in the troublesome Ego. Even when circumlocution is resorted to as a means of hiding him, that respectable gentleman insists on rising up as a Saul among the children of I srael, even though it be on tip-toe or on stilts. He has, in some sort, a right to be seen and heard, and if he shall unreasonably obtrude in these pages, the reader, it is hoped, will charitably consider the infirmity of the Ego tribe. The way-marks of youth are rarely forgotten. The order and dates of manhood-events were determined, partly by private memoranda, partly by the minutes of ecclesiastical bodies, and partly by the papers with which the writer has been connected, editorially or otherwise.
