Excerpt from Forging His Chains
In all ages men have fallen and reformed. If this book shall tend to convince the people of my native land of my Own reformation, one of its objects will have been attained. If it shall prove a timely warning to any young business men or those occupying places of trust, who may be startled into a recognition of their own danger, I shall feel that my labor has not been in vain, and that my new life and liberty will not be altogether useless. G. B.

Excerpt from Forging His Chains
The early chapters of this volume were written at a time when I had some misgivings as to the propriety of placing it before the public. It seemed to me likely that such a book would be misunderstood and misjudged by a class of readers, and the real purpose of its publication ignored. My friends disagreed on the subject, and gave dissimilar advice. I was placed in a position not unlike John Bunyan's:
Some said, "John, print it;" others said,"Not so."
Some said, "It might do good;" others said, "No."
But by far the greater number of my friends insisted that I must publish the book; and it now goes forth upon its mission, I trust, for good. I sincerely hope that no one will regard it as a mere record of crime. It is not a contribution to "flash" literature, or designed for the edification of the vicious. It is intended for honest people, and, I may add, as an enduring injunction for them to remain such.
I believe it to be a duty, which I owe my Creator and mankind, to occupy the remainder of my days in "works meet for repentance." I have come also to believe that in no way can I do so much to atone for past misdeeds as by giving the true story of my life to the world. The most critical reader will scarcely claim that my physical punishment has been insufficient; and yet, through all those weary years, my mental sufferings were by far the greatest.
In all ages men have fallen and reformed. If this book shall tend to convince the people of my native land of my own reformation, one of its objects will have been attained. If it shall prove a timely warning to any young business men or those occupying places of trust, who may be startled into a recognition of their own danger, I shall feel that my labor has not been in vain, and that my new life and liberty will not be altogether useless.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This fascinating autobiography offers a rare glimpse into the notorious life of George Bidwell, a charismatic figure whose unchecked ambition and penchant for deceit led him down a path of crime, ultimately culminating in his incarceration in English prisons for fourteen years on a life sentence for forgery on the Bank of England. As he reflects on his past from behind bars, Bidwell, a man of remarkable intelligence and self-awareness, unravels not only the thrilling details of his fraudulent schemes but also the underlying motivations and missteps that propelled him toward a life of crime. Through his candid and often agonizing self-examination, Bidwell delves into the themes of temptation, societal pressures, and the consequences of pursuing wealth and status at any cost. By exploring the complexities of his own psyche, Bidwell provides a cautionary tale that exposes the fragility of morality and the destructive power of unchecked ambition.
