Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from A Stepson of Fortune: The Memories, Confessions and Opinions of Henry Murray Nathaniel Hawthorne prefaced one of his earlier volumes by the statement that it was the work of the obscurest man of letters in America. I will preface this volume by saying that it is the work of the unluckiest scribbler - regarded merely as a scribbler - on which the all-beholding eye of day has ever looked. That is the one statement this book will contain to which I will suffer no challenge. It is my one point of pride - perhaps, of vanity - on which I would quarrel with my dearest friend or the wife of my bosom. You and I will come to no good of each other's society unless that fact is accepted as a fact. Many quite intelligent people will tell us that there is no such factor as luck in human affairs, and a scientist of very distinguished ability. Lord Avebury, once wrote a whole book to prove that belief the correct one. I have not read the book, but I am quite certain that his lordship might have put his ink to better uses. So far from there being no such force in human affairs as luck, it is an absolute fact that luck is the one force that directs them. Since a man does not choose the race he shall be born of, it is a matter of luck whether he comes into the world a white man or a nigger.
