DEDICATED
TO
OUR AMERICAN BOYS
WHO,
BORN IN POVERTY, CRADLED IN OBSCURITY, AND EARLY
CALLED FROM SCHOOL TO RUGGED LABOR, ARE
SEEKING TO CONVERT OBSTACLE INTO
OPPORTUNITY, AND WREST ACHIEVEMENT
FROM DIFFICULTY,
THESE RECOLLECTIONS
ARE REGARDFULLY INSCRIBED BY
THEIR AUTHOR.
Mr. Greeley himself gives the best indication of their nature, when he
says: "I shall never write anything else into which I shall put so much
of _myself_, my experiences, notions, convictions, and modes of thought
as these _Recollections_. I give, with small reserve, my mental History."
In his "Apology," Mr. Greeley says: "* * * If my friends will accept the
essays which conclude this volume as a part of my mental biography, I
respectfully proffer this book as my account of all of myself that is
worth their consideration; and I will cherish the hope that some
portion, at least, of its contents embody lessons of persistence and
patience, which will not have been set forth in vain."
