Excerpt from From Fourteen to Fourscore I will preface my book with an excuse for having undertaken at my age to become an author. I should be very glad to throw off all responsibility in the mat ter, and say I wrote at the solicitation of friends or relatives. Anything, it seems to me, would be easier than to tell the truth, which is simply this: I wrote this book to please myself, and at the suggestion of my granddaughter, who, in ransacking an old book-case brought from its hiding-place my journal, which had lain mouldering on an upper shelf for years.
