Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sketches From a Student´s Window I tell not my tale to a cold and careless world. I waste not sighs upon ears that are deaf. A story of misfortune is a pearl too precious to be cast before those who would only trample upon it. I speak to the tender and sympathetic ear of those whom experience has taught to contrast the bliss of friendship, indulged without suspicion or alloy, with the bitterness of disappointed trust and betrayed affection. I had the misfortune to lose both my parents at an early age. My mother died when I was a boy, and my father followed her soon after I entered my twenty-first year. I was an only child, and without relatives; but my father committed me to the care of a friend by the name of Plum, of whom he had a high opinion, and to whom he was fondly attached. Whether my father´s choice of a guardian for one whose imagination was stronger than his judgment, and whose passions were more active than his principles, was wise or not, is a question which I leave to be decided by the issue of my story. The stern and strict control of my father was no sooner withdrawn, than I felt like a liberated bird. I indulged my fancy in every thing.
