CHAPTER III.
Setting aside title-page, index, etc., the little Autobiography begins on page 7 and ends on page 130.

My quotations are from the first forty pages.

They seem to me to prove the presence of the 'prentice hand.

The style of the forty pages is loose and feeble and 'prentice-like.

The movement of the narrative is not orderly and sequential, but rambles around, and skips forward and back and here and there and yonder, 'prentice-fashion.
