Excerpt from The Autobiography of Joseph Jefferson How often the painter, after having spoiled his first work by some intellectual modification, has said to himself, Oh, how I wish I had let it alone. The autobiographe'r, if he be not a literary man, first hesitates through sheer cowardice I hnaw did.

The dread of censure, the fear of ridicule start up lihe specters, and he drops his pen in dismay. But let him reflect upon the real nature of his tash and he will tahe courage, for he will realize that what he has undertaken can be best done by himself.
