First sentence: BORN on 6th February 1822, I am now, therefore-as years go-an old man, and in the now more than fourscore years of a busy life, manual and literary, I have seen many changes, and met and had communication with some men of note; and having from a very early age been much given to observation, to take notice of the changes of beliefs, of fashions, customs, having now been a regular writer for the newspaper press for more than sixty years, during half of which time I have had charge of, and written largely for, The Cumnock Express, I have been frequently urged to write an account of some of the most outstanding events of my life, and to do so in the form of an Autobiography.
