Book Description

Excerpt from The Confessions of a Magdalen: Or Some Passages in the Life of Experience Borgia, in Letters to Forgiveness Mandeville, Esq. I.wes born' on the seaboard, in this country, in October, the day President Washington visited the city of my birth; but for dates and places in the course of my confessions I beg to be excused, for, in the first place, the bump of locality has not been well.developed on my skull, and somehow or other I always hated precise dates and formerly, more particularly as it regarded my own age, I despised an antiquarian who could state to you the hour of the day or night when your great grandmother was born, whether on that day the sun was clouded, or whether on that night Jupiter or Venus was the star that most attracted the gaze of the astronomers.
