Boston: C. H. Peirce, 1852. Book. Very Good. Blindstamped Cloth. Fourth Thousand. 24mo - over 5" - 5¾" tall. 96 pages, mild foxing, biography, "The author of this narrative is an invalid. More than eighteen years since, he became the victim of disease, which has produced a perfect and total paralysis of all the muscles of volition. A slight motion of the head and body is all of which he is capable. The faculties of the mind and the vocal organs remain unimpaired. In such a state of helplessness he has written this volume, by having the manuscript laid on a frame attached to the front of his chair, and holding the pen in his teeth, as represented in the engraving." *from the preface.
