Excerpt from The Clergy of Litchfield County I AM chie y to blame for this book, though a committee of good men whose judgment I respected asked me to write it. I ought to have known better, and have often wished that somebody might express his opinion of the enormity of my crime in a way to do justice to my own sense of guilt. The things I have omitted - some of them through ignorance, others for lack of space trouble me more than what I have done.
