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."
