Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. As it is my intention within a very short time to con front my fellow-men with the very greatest demand that has ever yet been made upon them, it seems to me above all necessary to declare here who and what I am. As a matter of fact, this ought to be pretty well known already, for I have not held my tongue about myself. But the disparity which exists between the greatness of my task and the smallness of my contem poraries, is revealed by the fact that people have neither heard me nor yet seen me. I live on my own self-made credit, and it is probably only a prejudice to suppose that I am. Alive at all. I do but require to speak to any one ol-the scholars who come to the ober-engadine in the summer in order to convince myself that I am not alive. Under these circum stances, it is a duty - and one against which my cus tomary reserve, and to a still greater degree the pride of my instincts, rebel - to say: Listen! For I am sue/z and we}: a person. For [fear/en's sake do not confound me will: any one else!
