Monthly Repository and Review of Theology and General Literature, Vol. 2: January to December, 1828 (Classic Reprint) - Brossura
Excerpt from Monthly Repository and Review of Theology and General Literature, Vol. 2: January to December, 1828
I have often thought that they whose lot it is to go abroad are very self ish, if they do not endeavour to make others participate in the pleasure and advantage which they derive from visiting foreign parts. Nor is the force of this observation materially diminished by the great number of books of travels into every practicable region of the globe, which we already possess. In these times of improvement, every country is perpetually presenting some thing new; and France, especially, is at this moment offering to the eye of the philanthropist a picture which he must delight to contemplate. Besides, men travel with different Views and with different tastes one, with a hammer and a bag at his side, to break rocks and collect mineralogical specimens; a second, with a tin box and a lrortus siccus, to gather mosses; a third, to criticise statues and paintings; and a fourth, to see the world, and catch the passing folly as it flies and it is very possible that much, which is in teresting to the true lover of his species, may pass before the eyes, or assail the ears, of each of these individuals, without his thinking it worth his while to treasure it up and record it for his own or for others' good. I shall, therefore, proceed, without further preface, to present your readers with an abridgment of the Journal which I kept during my late tour through the South of France.
