Yes. He didn't write a traditional autobiography that sought to summarize his life from beginning to near-end, however, but more a series of vignettes from different times in his life mixed with philosophical musings and information about his inventions.

The title, Passages from the Life of a Philosopher, was published by Longman, Green, Longman, Roberts, & Green, London, in 1864.
