Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Notes Made During an Excursion to the Highlands of New-Hampshire: And Lake Winnipiseogee These notes having been exposed to the curiosity of an Editor of a distant Newspaper, extracts, I know not to what extent, were printed without the writer´s knowledge. The remarks which remained on the loose, and nearly worn out cards, are here transcribed for your amusement. In one instance they have excited the curiosity of some of your friends to make an excursion to the region of lakes and mountains; but I understand they returned exceedingly disappointed. The Spartan soup that gave vigour to the Lacedemonians, was very distasteful to the luxurious Asiatics; so your fair friends not being prepared by a proper temperament, to feel the invigorating freshness of mountain air, returned to their sea coal fire, exhausted by the fatigue of the journey. Happily, however, for them, their nervous and dyspeptical complaints were suspended from the hour they came in sight of Lake Winnipiseogee to the seventeenth day after they reached home; thus giving them a taste of the pleasures of vicissitude. "Sometimes ´tis grateful for the rich to try A short vicissitude, and fit of poverty: A savory dish, a homely treat, Where all is plain, where all is neat, Without the stately spacious room, The Persian carpet, or the Tyrian loom, Clear up the cloudy foreheads of the great."
