Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Reuben Medlicott, Vol. 2 of 3: Or, the Coming Man With most men, as well as with Sindbad, or Captain Lemuel Gulliver, human life consists of a succession of ventures or voyages, literal or metaphorical expeditions; though it is only the luck of a few such pets of my lady Fortune to discover valleys of diamonds, or marvellous ¿ying islands. But who has not his "travel´s history," let it be prodigious as Munchausen´s, or dull as any modern tour in the Alps or Apennines? Which of us have not our voyages, on which we set out, when "the tide in the affairs of men" happens to serve, with more or less ballast in our hold, more or less capital in money or brains to trade with, more or less of the breeze of hope to fan our sails; and from which (if we escape the perils of the deep) we return now and then to port with more or less reputation or pro¿t? The ¿rst attempt is usually a little coasting trip to school, where we probably gain a small commodity of Greek and Latin, and think we have made pretty good merchandise; at least we have done as well as our neighbours, which ought in reason to content us. The second venture is a little more adventurous: a cruise to one of the famous marts of learning, that time-honoured university, for instance, to which the young voyager of these pages - would he were a Jason for the reader´s sake! - is now careering in his hopeful argosy, with portly sail, Like signiors and rich burghers on the ¿ood.
