Excerpt from My Generation: An Autobiographical InterpretationThere must be, of course, some reason for that backward errand of the mind which is implied in autobiography. Confessions may be, they frequently are, the work of the imagination, but, when genuine, they have their justification in the unburdening of a mind of its past. Reminiscences of lighter vein are the recreation of the mind, in more serious vein, its revaluation of men and events according to the appraisal of the memory. Inter pretation represents most nearly the unfinished work of a lifetime. In its more personal use it offers to the individual worker a just relief from his frequent sense of the incom pleteness and the impermanence of his work, by allowing him to relate it to things which have in themselves fullness or stability movements, causes, institutions. Applied in its larger relations, it may make some unfinished work of a generation, through the better understanding of it, the special task of the next, and so maintain that con tinuity of purpose among likebminded men which is the essential element in social progress.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
