Review & Description

I have been urged ever since I left the Asylum, by
friends, to write my history of those two unfortunate
years, and give it to the public. This I did purpose
to do while I was in the asylum, as soon as I left it,
while all things would be fresh in my memory. But
after leaving that place, and mingling again with the
world and with my friends, the very thought of the
subject sickened me, for I desired to think and talk
as little about the matter as possible.

Besides this, in eighteen months after I left the
asylum I entered upon the regular work of the minis-
try again, and did not wish, while in the; effective
work of the ministry, to mix with it the history of
those two unhappy years, of which I knew; the public
had no adequate conception ; and which, if I should
write out faithfully, would develop facts which many
would disbelieve, while others would only laugh at
them, as freaks of my insanity, and not as sober
truths.I have been urged ever since I left the Asylum, by
