4.9/5 (20540 ratings)

Description:The experiences and trials of Edward D. Tippett, preceptor; or, 44 years of his life: containing strange and mysterious events whilst the teacher of the Eastern Free School, Washington City, D.C.; also, singular and strange circumstances transpiring in Annapolis and Baltimore. Written for the information of his fellow citizens, by himself. A notably eccentric early American autobiography, the central theme of which is the author's search for a perpetual motion machine. Along the way Tippett earns his living as a schoolteacher, a farmer, and an itinerant Methodist preacher; his erratic finances lead on at least one occasion to imprisonment for debt. The peculiar favor of this narrative is well indicated by some of the chapter summaries: "An account of a situation given me through the interference of Colonel Bumford, and taken from me by General Duff Green, who promises faithfully to do me all the kindness he could; an offer made me by General M'Comb -- advised not to comply, by Major Hook; awful distress followed" (Chapter XIII). The penultimate chapter consists of one of Tippett's extraordinary dreams, which he wrote down and sent to Andrew Jackson.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
