Excerpt from The Life of Joseph Blanco White, Vol. 1 of 3These Memoirs are the materials of an Autobiography, rather than the completed work. Mr. White had drawn up two accounts of himself, neither of which was carried later than the year 1826. The first of these, Part I. of these volumes, is mainly a Narrative of the Events of his Life up to that period. The other, Part II., is entitled, 'A Sketch of my Mind in England.' This was an after-thought, and required that some of the circumstances previously given, should be restated in connection with the principal object of the Sketch, the history of his religious experience. Hence, in a small portion of the first Volume, an occasional redundancy, a repeated fact, though in new relations and with a fresh interest, which it was found impossible to avoid, except by losing the Autobiographer in a re cast of the materials, a loss for which nothing affecting external form could compensate.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
