Perhaps the most influential autobiography of all time.Having emerged from the poverty and obscurity in which I was born and bred to a state of affluence and some degree of reputation in the world and having gone so far through life with a considerable share of felicity the conducing means I made use of which with the blessing of God so well succeeded my posterity may like to know as they may find some of them suitable to their own situations and therefore fit to be imitated.That felicity when I reflected on it has induced me sometimes to say that were it offered to my choice I should have no objection to a repetition of the same life from its beginning only asking the advantages authors have in a second edition to correct some faults of the first. So I might besides correcting the faults change some sinister accidents and events of it for others more favorable. But though this were denied I should still accept the offer. Since such a repetition is not to be expected the next thing most like living one's life over again seems to be a recollection of that life and to make that recollection as durable as possible by putting it down in writing.Wilder Publications is a green publisher. All of our books are printed to order. This reduces waste and helps us keep prices low while greatly reducing our impact on the environment.
