Bradbury, Osgood: The Mysterious Foundling. v1. 3 Oct 2016
Osgood Bradbury: Born ??: died 1931
Excerpt I WONDER if a history of my life would do any good in this wicked world? That is a question which has agitated my mind and exercised my heart for many, many long months. Some have told me that its publication would produce more injury than good in the community, and others have given quite a contrary opinion. I feel a strong interest in the welfare of my sex, and Heaven knows I would do nothing willingly which might be instrumental in leading it astray from the paths of virtue. I have not lived long beneath our bright skies, but have lived too fast. Yes, kind reader, I have lived too fast! And alas! that I have thus lived! My experience has been brief in deed, but full of the bitter and the sweet. My life has been a web of mingled yarn; and sometimes the skein was so much tangled and twisted that it seemed to me I could never straighten it out! But, thanks to an Unseen, but not Unfelt Power, I have been plucked as a brand from the burning, and rescued from an untimely and dishonorable grave; while others have fallen never to rise again.
