What I have written in the preceeding pages
was intended for my own amusement and
gratification --- not for every idle brained
reader who in many cases is glad to find
an expression or opportunity to hint at the
vanity & self-importance of individuals in
their narratives --. I make no apoligy for
any sentence -- word or sentiment in the book--
I only regret that a false modesty restrained
me from mentioning many -- indeed most
of the scenes in which I took a prominent
part. Such a recountal would have been amu-
sing to myself, & have afforded satisfaction &
d8iversion for the children of the third generation!
