The Fate of Genius, Charles Macdonald , single work essay
'In the hope of inducing some to commiserate my condition, I have, if I may say, as a last resort, resolved to lay before them a short narrative of my life. In a community so proverbially prosperous and wealthy, there will surely be found persons whom the dictates of humanity and the ordinary sympathies of their nature will induce to assist the indigent and succour the distressed.'
