Excerpt from An Account of the Religious and Literary Life of Adam Clarke, LL. D., F. A.S., Etc. Etc, Vol. 1: Written by One Who Was Intimately Acquainted With Him From His Boyhood to the Sixtieth Year of His Age If these Memoirs were written by the late Dr. Clarke, how happens it that, they speak in the third person. And appear as though composed by an intitmte friend? The third person was assumed in order to obviate an un pleasant appearance of egotism which Autobiography must always assume, more or less offensive, according to the skill of the Narrator. In this, Dr. Clarke did but follow the example of other great names, and availed himself of a disguise, previously made known to the Readers, that the mere Individual might not be per petually obtruding himself upon their notice: the atten tion being fixed upon the passing events and described feelings, the Author temporarily forgotten, the judgment may be thus formed, not from the bias of Dr. Clarke's felt presence, but from the facts as recorded in the Narrative: a mask which gives courage but conceals no feature.
