Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Great Refusal, Being Letters of a Dreamer in Gotham All that is necessary for the understanding of these letters can be told in a few words. Their author was born and educated in New York. After receiving the baccalaureate degree at Columbia College, he studied in the graduate classes for two years, and then went abroad. He traveled through the various countries of Europe, passing a winter in Greece, and proceeded thence to India and the far East, where he remained a number of months. He would have been content, on returning home, to give himself up to a life of leisure and quiet study, as the means of his family permitted; but the American instincts of his father and relatives in general regarded such unproductive idleness as degrading. In accordance, and accepted a position as teacher in the - school, this being the only active life he deemed himself suited to enter upon. Here he fulfilled the duties of instructor in Latin for one year, but I am told the result was deplorable.
