Synopsis
Excerpt from Autobiography, Vol. 23: A Collection of the Most Instructive and Amusing Lives Ever Published; With Brief Introductions, and Compendious Sequels Carrying on the Narrative to the Death of Each Writer
My mother brought me into the world with little pain, and this increased her love for me; my first appearance was not, as usual, announced by cries, and this gentleness seemed then an indication of the pacific character, which from that day forward I have ever preserved.
I was the idol of the house: my nurse maintained that I was clever; my mother took the charge of my education, and my father of my amusement. He ordered a puppet-shew to be constructed for me, which he contrived to manage himself, with the assist ance of three or four of his friends; and at the age Of four, this was a high entertainment for me.
