Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Four Years in Secessia: A Narrative of a Residence at the South Previous to and During the Southern Rebellion, Up to November, 1863, When the Writer Escaped From Richmond
God has given to each one of us a genius peculiar to ourselves. Some call this genius a disposition or inclination of the mind. Some call it a guardian angel. Others call it a genius. This genius is continually prompting us; beckoning us; and cheering us onward. In its hand it holds a shining light.
If we give our hearts to God and follow the promptings of this genius, keeping in the immediate in?uence of its light, our hearts will glow with genial warmth, our souls will expand, and our progress will be onward and upward to the spirit from which we' emanated.
We do not follow the promptings of this genius as we should. The mass of us follow public Opinion, until we learn by our own sufferings, or by the sufferings of others, that it is wrong, and that it has led us darkling through the world.
