Publisher's Synopsis
The Autobiography of Christopher Kirkland V1 is a book written by E. Lynn Linton. It is a personal memoir of the protagonist, Christopher Kirkland, who narrates his life story in the first person. The book is divided into two volumes, with the first volume covering Kirkland's childhood and early adulthood. The story begins with Kirkland's birth in the early 19th century and follows his upbringing in a wealthy family. Kirkland's father is a successful businessman, and his mother is a socialite. As a child, Kirkland is pampered and sheltered, but he longs for adventure and independence. As Kirkland grows older, he becomes increasingly rebellious and seeks to break free from his family's expectations. He travels extensively throughout Europe, Africa, and Asia, experiencing different cultures and meeting new people. Along the way, he falls in love, faces adversity, and learns valuable life lessons. The Autobiography of Christopher Kirkland V1 is a compelling tale of self-discovery, adventure, and personal growth. It provides a vivid portrait of life in the 19th century and offers insights into the human condition that are still relevant today. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in history, travel, and personal memoirs.I cannot say why this strange unwholesome legend took such hold of me. Perhaps because it was unwholesome. I could not shake myself clear from it; and I had a haunting kind of prevision that more hung on it than its own superstitious fancy. I had just heard, too, of Joanna Southcote; and altogether my mind was, as it were, fascinated by this subject of virgin births--their possibility now as their certainty in times past--and by the whole range, indeed, of divine interposition in the works and ways of man.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
