Struggles for Life, Or, The Autobiography of a Dissenting MinisterExcerpt from Struggles for Life: Or the Autobiography of a Dissenting Minister Or memory may recall, after the lapse of twenty or thirty years of youth and early manhood that invaluable period of being in which, if a man is to do anything in this tumultuous market-place called the world, it must be done, or left undone for ever - scenes of strangely mingled com plexion, having all the colours of the rainbow, without its unity and beauty, and all the variety of a Persian bazaar, without its order and elegance. Alternations of hope and disappointment, satisfaction and grief, gladness and tears. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
