Synopsis
Excerpt from Struggles for Life: Or the Autobiography of a Dissenting Minister
Speaking officially, such is my text. Convinced that honesty would greatly improve the world, I act upon the conviction, by presenting an outline of what the reader may expect in the introductory chapter of my personal memoirs. His inability to predict how this outline may be filled up - this skeleton Clothed this voluntary pledge to say something on certain given topics, redeemed - is, of course, no fault of mine. On the assumption of pre vions acquaintanceship between us, the case would have been different; from the past, he could have drawn an infer ence as the basis of a prophecy; but as it is taken for granted that we never met before, it is no re ection, either on his perspicacity or on my candour, to say that he cannot know what I am about to write, and that I cannot tell him.
