Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Life of the Unfortunate Levi B. Swalm: Embelished With a Likeness
In consideration of the voluminousness and diversity of biography, discouragements arise to the labor of p1omulga ting any additional portion; but as voluble Time constantly produces changes, inventions and new subjects, it rolls the old into obsoletion and oblivion, and sustains the new hence encouragements to press on and improve upon the past Copiously accrue. The lives of human beings of both sexes, under nearly all circumstances, have been published, but none so peculiarly singular, impressive and afi'ecting as the present one. In the present state of things, the multi farious conditions, occupations and pursuits of mankind are some of the best sources of instruction; and in the sub ject of this memoir is exhibited an unique case.
