Excerpt from University Library of Autobiography: Including All the Great Autobiographies and the Autobiographical Data Left by the World's Famous Men and Women
There is a sad contrast between the child Victoria's happi ness and the sorrows of that other royal child autobiographer, poor Marie Therese of France, who had only just been re stored to her royal court when Victoria was born. Democracy had come to England mildly, through legislation, not with fire and sword and guillotine as in France.
Other lands had still to win it. Our volume includes the autobiography of Giuseppe Garibaldi, that splendid lion-like Italian who fought to make Italy free. He fought also in South America aiding to unchain the peoples there; and never did any novelist 's dashing romance tell of. More hairbreadth escapes, more daring and heroic ventures than thrill from every page of Garibaldi 's memoirs. Some foolish person once said that Romance was dead in our modern world. Why, in Garibaldi 's story she has not even changed the ancient weapons of her trade.
One might almost say the same of Lincoln, America's mar tyr president, who comes within the limits of this period. He also was a great romantic hero, a rustic knight of chivalry rewinning a forgotten birthright by deeds of glorious em prise. The only sketch of his own life that Lincoln ever wrote was brief. He sent it to a friend to prepare for the presi~ dential campaign of 1860. But what American does not want to know every word of that sketch, to learn just exactly how Lincoln estimated his own early career?
