Reminiscences of Thought and Feeling, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from Reminiscences of Thought and Feeling, Vol. 1

Not that it is anything of the artistic, fine-writing sort which I have here to set before the reader; for I am a very plain-spoken person, and one who, on principle, endeavours to stand aloof from that common but insidious mode of journalizing, which, for the sake of being interesting, or any other non sensical thing that self-love worships, is for ever turning phrases, and making a sentimental much ado about nothing. I like to come to my point by the shortest cut, and to grapple, if I can, with the little bit of truth that is to be got out of things and people.

Excerpt from Reminiscences of Thought and Feeling, Vol. 1

As there are portions of this little work, which perhaps, in the opinion of some readers, would have been better omitted, or at all events, left to take their chance of publication after the writer's decease, it may be proper for me to state, that, although it has long been impressed upon my mind that a sketch of the leading features of my religious experience, might be useful to some of my fellow creatures, I had not the slightest idea of introducing it in this volume, when I began to write it; nor, for some time afterwards. I was insensibly led into the undertaking, and seemed to myself to be in the fulfilment of a duty, in proceeding with it.
