A narrative of voyages and commercial enterprises . up in an unsuccessful specu-lation in 1836, and I was thus a third time left destitute. On making an estimate of my losses of the twenty years between1805 and 1825, I find their aggregate amount to exceed two hundredthousand dollars, although I never possessed at any one time a suraexceeding eighty thousand dollars. Under such losses, I have beensupported by the consoling reflection, that they have been exclusivelymine, and that it is not in the power of any individual to say, withtruth, that I have injured him to the amount of a dollar. With a small annual sum from the Neapolitan indemnity, I havebeen enabled to support myself, till this was on the point of ceasingby the cancelling of that debt ; v, hen I was so fortunate as to obtainan office in the custom-house, the duties of which I hope to performfaithfully, and in peace, during the few remaining years, or months, or days, which may be allotted me on earth.
