O knihe

Excerpt from A Sketch of the Life and Travels of Isaac Fenton King: With Some Incidents Connected With His Childhood

N writing this little book for my family, I have found many difficulties. Among them, I mention a few. The subject matter and style suited to children will seem trivial to persons of mature years; and that which is meant for grown up people, may seem grave to the little folk.

To condense into a small book the material gathered in a long life is no little task. This difficulty was most apparent in attempting to put in a small space what I have seen in long journeys.

It has been absolutely necessary to select, and in so doing I may have incorporated the less valuable and may have made no mention of what others would deem more important things.

Most autobiographers unconsciously seem to be egotists. Of necessity I speak here often of myself, therefore I hope I do not make a hero of myself.
