An autobiographical statement:
I had the advantage of being well-born, one branch of my family reach back to the Scottish Chiefs and doubtless the other side to the Irish Kings. These conditions would indicate great pos-sibilities in the future but as yet undeveloped. My early education in a country school two miles from home. My daily occupation of a backless bench, widens in developing a stiff backbone which I have always found useful. Doing chores, evening and morning and between paroxisms of schooling, but-toning and unbuttoning, going to bed and getting up, are the most vivid remembrances of my early days, as is the common fate of youth. I grew up and now at the high noon of life the promises of the morning are as yet unfulfilled, but what the cool of the evening may bring is not yet seen. Latent powers may yet find opportunities for expression, and posterity learn with admiration of my achievements.
