It is with feelings of the greatest diffidence that I place the following pages before the public; but those of my friends who happen to have heard of my rather unique experiences in the wilds have so often urged me to write an account of my adventures, that after much hesitation I at last determined to do so. I have no doubt that many of my readers, who have perhaps never been very far away from civilisation, will be inclined to think that some of the incidents are exaggerated. I can only assure them that I have toned down the facts rather than otherwise, [more]

In Presenting These Volumes To The Public I Should Have Felt, I Own, Considerable Diffidence, From A Sincere Distrust In My Own Powers Of Doing Justice To Such A Task, Were I Not Well Convinced That There Is In The Subject Itself, And In The Rich Variety Of Materials Here Brought To Illustrate It, A Degree Of Attraction And Interest Which It Would Be Difficult, Even For Hands The Most Unskilful, To Extinguish. However Lamentable Were The Circumstances Under Which Lord Byron Became Estranged From His Country, To His Long Absence From England, During The Most Brilliant Period Of His Powers, We Are Indebted For All Those Interesting Letters Which Compose The Greater Part Of The Second Volume Of This Work, And Which Will Be Found Equal, If Not Superior, In Point Of Vigour, Variety, And Liveliness, To Any That Have Yet Adorned This Branch Of Our Literature.

O.E. FULLER BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN

Their Struggles, Failures, And Triumphs

By O.E. FULLER 1884 All rights reserved. Struggle, failure, triumph: while triumph is the thing sought, struggle has its joy, and failure is not without its uses. "It is not the _goal_," says Jean Paul, "but the _course_ which makes us happy." The law of life is what a great orator affirmed of oratory--"Action, action, action!" As soon as one point is gained, another, and another presents itself. "It is a mistake," says Samuel Smiles, "to suppose that men succeed through success; they much oftener succeed through failure." He cites, among others, the example of Cowper, who, through his diffidence and shyness, broke down when pleading his first cause, and lived to revive the poetic art in England; and that of Goldsmith, who failed in passing as a surgeon, and yet wrote the "Deserted Village" and the "Vicar of Wakefield." Even when one turns to no new course, how many failures, as a rule, mark the way to triumph, and brand into life, as with a hot iron, the lessons of defeat! The brave man or the brave woman is one who looks life in the eye, and says: "God helping me, I am going to realize the best possibilities of my nature, by calling into action the beneficent laws which govern and determine the development of each individual member of the race." And the failures of such a person are the jewels of triumph; that triumph which is certain in the sight of heaven, if not in the eyes of men. "Brave Men and Women," the title of this volume, is used in a double sense, as referring not only to those whose words and deeds are here recorded, or cited as examples, but also to all who read the book, and are striving after the riches of character.
