is a long distance from London in England to
our Philadelphia in America, and if I am to show, as
is my purpose, how my visit to the
larger city led me to help build up
the smaller, then is it wise that I
explain somewhat concerning myself, even though those who shall
read what I here set down, have
no care whatsoever as to whether
I be white or black, halt or
blind, young or old.
I was born in that city of
England called Bristol, and my father's name is also
mine. Stephen these good people call him, and in
order that there may be no mistake as to which of
us is meant when I am spoken of, they refer to me
as Stephen of Philadelphia, which is much to my liking.
