Excerpt from The Story of My Life, During Seventy Eventful Years: 1841-1911In addition to gratifying the curiosity of my deseen dants, I hope that a frank and careful record of the in cidents of my life and times may help those who come after me to a better understanding of this important transition period in the progress of the world. The ex tension of knowledge among the masses of the people, the new discoveries in science, and modern inventions have almost revolutionized the conditions of life and thought during the past seventy years. In more than a figurative sense one can say, Old things have passed away, all things have become new. The generation now coming upon the stage can know only through the report of others the conditions of life as they existed in this coun try seventy or even fifty years ago.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
