Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Six Years in the Monasteries of Italy, and Two Years in the Islands of the Mediterranean and in Asia Minor: Containing a View of the Manners and Customs of the Popish Clergy in Ireland, France, Italy, Malta, Corfu, Zante, Smyrna, &C The first edition of this work, having been received with kindness by the public, as is manifest from its rapid sale; my publisher has deemed it expedient to prepare a second, with some corrections, and improvements. Were I to give ear to the advice of those, who think themselves competent to judge of the merits and demerits of a work, from a partial perusal of the same, I would have made many alterations and additions to these pages; but as the work has been written and published without the patronage or advice of any one, so also I am determined to have it continue its course through the hands of the public, without being burdened by the unsought criticisms of either friends or enemies. Many, who, before its publication, saw me struggling in the waves of adversity and destitution, and who were then unwilling to lend a helping hand, are now, that they see its success, desirous of sending out their cock-boats to help me into port, when they see me on the point of casting anchor. Not content with approving, what would be approved of without their taking any trouble about it, they are even so charitable as to give me their advice. What charitable beings! I am, however, obliged to them, not so much for their advice, which I shall take the liberty to decline putting in practice, but rather for the lesson they taught me, of how little confidence should be placed in men, who, under a zeal for religion and the glory of God, hide a zeal for self and the glory of self.
