Excerpt from Autographical Notes From the Life and Letters of Ezra Michener, M. DIt is true that my impulse was forward, and I may sometimes have uttered advanced thoughts of some merit, but they have been too often lost in the distant past or absorbed by more modern developments.I have been careful to preserve serial copies of the printed effusions of my pen, however ephemeral their import, together with many memoranda and comments relating to my life history. In this collection of over five hundred items there are many which had a mere local or temporary application, and require no further consideration some that contained, at the period when they were written, an adyanced thought which may be worth preserving, some that will only need a brief summary of their import, some that may be better represented by appropriate extracts, and some that will prefer to vindicate their claims in their own way. This task I assigned to myself two years ago, but the loss of my dear Mary, and'the severe bodily injury that I received a few days after from a fall, have' frustrated that intention. I now feel that the treasure is no longer mine it must soon become the property of others whose duty it will be to direct its disposal, whether it may be to make brief selections from the mass for preserva tion as an incentive to emulation among the young, or to consign the whole to merited oblivion.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
