Excerpt from The Life and Letters of John Angell James: Including an Unfinished Autobiography I have been many times solicited to prepare for posthumous publication an autobiography. To this I have many, and, as they appear to myself, strong and well-grounded objections. I am quite aware that on some accounts, most men are their best and most competent memorialists, provided they have preserved, as life went on, the matter of which such a history Should be composed, and have sufiicient courage and honesty, and freedom both from false shame and self-love, to write the truth, the whole truth, and no thing but the truth concerning themselves and others; and at the same time enough of candour, perspicacity, and discrimination in judging of events and characters with which they have been mixed up. Nor ought I to omit as another qualification for an interest ing and instructive autobiography, a consciousness on the part of the writer that his life is of sufficient importance to be committed to record.
