Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of Charleston An absence of tive years from Charleston, a city in which I had mided sixty-ilve years, must have induced many recollections that merit preservation, if they have lctt the traces of some that should be forgotten. The propriety of publishing a volume of Reminiscences embracing so long a tract of time, has been sug gested by some of my friends. There are many things of which nothing but vague tradition retains the memory, and which are rapidly passing into oblivion. To preserve these waifs that are floating on the stream of time - to rescue these fragments may not be worthy of the pen of the historian, but that they should have a local habitation, and, if possible, a permanent record among the memorabilia of lireh-will scarcely admit of dispute. In gathering the materials for, and compiling this volume, and giving it the stamp of authenticity, where my memory has failed me, in recollecting dates, I have sought support for my statements in the better recollection of others. As regards facts, I do not require any such adventitious aid. As time recedes from view, it is a law of nature that recollection brightens with the progress of years, while shadows gather over that which is more recent.
