Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Recollections
I was born in Baltimore, Maryland, in the year 1841, on a lovely Sunday morning, June thirteenth, so you see I was destined never to become a great person, for it was under the sign of Gemini, and the twins are so jealous (castor and Pollox) the moment the one sees one of their own rising the other pulls him down, so one born in Gemini never or almost never reaches to great heights; but greatness does not always make for happiness, and most of the Gemini children are happy, - indeed persons born under this sign of the zodiac have a great many fine traits; altogether I have always loved being born in June, the month of long days full of sunshine, the loveliest ?owers, the trees coming into full leaf, the birds nesting, and the whole earth showing the res urrection of life and immortality of the soul.
