Riassunto

Excerpt from The Spectator, Vol. 3: No; 170, Friday, Sept; 14, 1711 to No; 251, Tuesday, Dec; 18, 1711

I am to the last degree at a loss what to do with this young fellow, except I declare him an outlaw, and pronounce it penal for any one to speak to him in the said house which he frequents, and direct that he be obliged to drink his tea and coffee without sugar, and: not receive from any person whatsoever any thing above mere necessaries.

As we in England are a sober people, and gene rally inclined rather to a certain bashfulness of beha viour in public, it is amazing whence some fellows come whom one meets with in 'this town; they do not at all seem to be the growth of our island; the pert, the talkative, all such as have no sense of the Observation of others, are certainly of foreign ex traction. As for my part, I am as much surprised when I see a talkative Englishman, as I Should be to see the Indian pine growing on one Of our quick set hedges. Where these creatures get sun enough, to make them such lively animals and dull men, is above my philosophy.
