Episodes of My Second Life: American and English Experiences (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover

Excerpt from Episodes of My Second Life: American and English Experiences

For my own part, I think that the tinker had the best tale, had the old rogue been willing to tell and had any one been able to write it.

Shall I try my hand at it? I have been for many years a tinker of books. But what I have written was so soon and so utterly forgotten, dead and buried, that not one line of it will ever rise to bear witness against me. The life of an obscure author is simply a page out of the book of man. So long as it is true to the race, it little matters whether the type be a person or a myth.
