OUR. AJMtEraiO-AJV BOYS, 



WHO, 



BORN IN POVERTY, CRADLED IN OBSCURITY, AND EARLY 

 CALLED FROM SCHOOL TO RUGGED LABOR, ARE 

 SEEKING TO CONVERT OBSTACLE INTO 

 OPPORTUNITY, AND WREST ACHIEVE- 

 MENT FROM DIFFICULTY, 



THESE RECOLLECTIONS 



ARE REGARDFULLY INSCRIBED BY 

 THEIR AUTHOR. 



Mr. Greeley himself gives the best indication of their nature, when he says : 

 " I shall never write anything else into which I shall put so much of myself, my 

 experiences, notions, convictions, and modes of thought as these Recollections. 

 I give, with small reserve, my mental history." 



In his " Apology," Mr. Greeley says : " * * * If my friends will accept the 

 essays which conclude this volume as a part of my mental biography, I respectfully 

 proffer this book as my account of all of myself that is worth their consideration ; 

 and I will cherish the hope that some portion, at least, of its contents embody 

 lessons of persistence and patience, which will not have been set forth in vain."
