It has been the misfortune of a life of many imprudences that the abnormal amiabil- THE CONFESSIONS OF A BASHFUL MAN. 1 63 ity which has been my bane always prompted me to promise services which were remote. If I were in- vited, ...by a friend whom I esteemed, to be hanged in thirty days' time, I should doubtless accept the invi- tation, although I should probably be sorry for it when the time matured.
I accepted the invitation, and spent the intervening time in getting ready for the effort of my life. Not to go too elaborately into the psychological secrets of bashfulness, it may be remarked, as this is a chapter of confessions, that a nature which is weak in confi- dence is strong in sentiment ; and so I selected for my theme, " Heroism." The style was of the com- posite order, with a little of the efflorescence of the Byzantine period.
