Apologia Diffidentis

Apologia Diffidentis, published in 1900 by O. M. Dalton under the pseudonym W. Compton Leith, is a semi-autobiographical work in which the narrator writes an apology for his shy, retiring nature, recounting a youth marked by painful self-consciousness and a later retreat to a solitary life in the East.
