Not only lack of courage, but lack of time, delayed the fulfilment of my purpose, and held my biography in a nebu lous state. The daily business of life is imperative, and calls for immediate attention. I am always sorely pressed by demands upon my time that cannot be held in abeyance, and should probably have postponed the preparation of this book until it was too late, but for the advent of my friend and publisher.
