Thomas Elwood : [autobiography]

''4th-11th- Reading Homer and basking in the sun upon the sea side of the breakwater. Weather delicious. Have also been swallowing autobiographies - Gifford's, Thomas Elwood's, Capt. Crichton's autobiography by Dean Swift. ... Elwood's, however, is by far the best of the three, and is indeed one of the most downright straightforward productions I have ever met with. What a book of books an autobiography might be made, if a man were found who would and could tell the whole truth and no more than the truth!'

Century: 1800-1849     Reader/Listener/Group: John Mitchel      Print: Book
