Excerpt from Autobiography The most distinct of my earliest recollections, dates from the time when I was about four years old, and when the comet of 1774 occasioned a great panic among a large number of the good citizens of Magdeburg, my native town. I heard those around me speaking with pious terror of the flaming rod, which God in his Wrath had extended across the heavens. Even my father, the chief and king of my childish world, was not free from anxiety. One evening, accompanied by my three sisters, he went out into the street, looking very grave, to examine the unusual phenomenon, and left me alone in the pale lamplight in the sitting-room. I trembled with terror, and shuddering drew up my little feet in the capacious leathern arm-chair, scarcely darin to breathe, while I imagined to myself the scene without, -the Eery rod of vengeance outstretched through the night over a shuddering world, and how from that world thou sands of pale faces were upturned through the darkness, gazing in Speechless terror at the awful portent.

Excerpt from Autobiography In an Autobiography, of whatever kind, there is always something of attraction for all but the most frivolous class of readers, perhaps not a little even for these. We all delight to be permitted an insight, more or less perfect, into the innermost life and being of another. The soul of fiction, and the essence of history, are comprised in the compass of a true biography; and true, all auto-biography must be, after a certain manner, even though it be in spite of the writer himself. The very falsehoods, affectations, and egotisms, of the Autobiographer, are not without their great value and use to the penetrating reader, whom, on the whole, they can never deceive; for each self-drawn portrait tells the truth, even though it be but after a shabby, equivocating manner. Even the falsity, the vanity, the hypocrisy, if any there be, discloses itself in a thousand ways, and brings out into the greatest prominence those very features which the self-portrayer imagined he had most cunningly concealed. Probably, no autobiography ever permanently deceived mankind; and in spite of the self-conceit there is in each of us, there is, probably, far less danger of deception in trusting to a mans own representation of his life and character than to that of another.
