The Expression of a Personal Pleasure
I cannot close this record of a boy's development without an attempt to suggest the sense of deep personal pleasure which I feel that the imprint on the title…page of this book should be that of the publishing house which; thirty…six years ago; I entered as stenographer。 It was there I received my start; it was there I laid the foundation of that future career then so hidden from me。 The happiest days of my young manhood were spent in the employ of this house; I there began friendships which have grown closer with each passing year。 And one of my deepest sources of satisfaction is; that during all the thirty…one years which have followed my resignation from the Scribner house; it has been my good fortune to hold the friendship; and; as I have been led to believe; the respect of my former employers。 That they should now be my publishers demonstrates; in a striking manner; the curious turning of the wheel of time; and gives me a sense of gratification difficult of expression。
