For those wishing to know: this is a short autobiography (published 1827) 
of a Catholic priest in Ireland, on how he became a priest, his thoughts 
and mis-givings, how gradually he changed his opinions, particularly with 
relation to the Bible which was then starting to be distributed/suppressed 
in his area, and how eventually he decided to leave the Catholic church. 
It's a very honest book, and unlike some with similar titles, he's not 
condemnatory.  After leaving he became a popular preacher in his area and 
was well-spoken of by those of his previous flock.

All the best,
