Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Autobiography of James Silk Buckingham, Vol. 1
This Book will surprise many, and entertain, it is hoped, not a few; but, above all, it will help to in struct the humblest of its readers in one of the most important lessons adapted to their condition namely, that there is no Obscurity of birth, no privation of property, and no opposition either of powerful indi viduals, or still more powerful public bodies and go vernments, that may not be overcome, by industry, integrity, zeal, and perseverance -no depth of mis fortune, from which the victim may not hope to emerge, by labour, economy, temperance, and that single-mindedness which regards the faithful dis charge of duty as the great object to which all others must be made subordinate.
