Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Life and Travels of Addison Coffin Written by Himself
The thought of appearing as an author or writer had not entered my mind at this period of life; I had not kept a diary, or even notes of the passing events, always depending on. Memory for reminiscences of the past. My memory has become a wonder to many people, and it is'the impression it has made that prompts the request of many for me to write a biog raphy. In regard to memory, it is but just to say that it is not universal in its capacity; things in which I am interested, things that are striking, things that touch and arouse sympathy, sorrow, joy, anger, disgust, ha tred, hope, and fear; things that arouse, excite, or deeply impress; things that inspire, exalt, and refine, etc., require no effort on my part to remember; will ing or unwilling they fix themselves upon my memory.
