席月覃晶李静万劲松尉迟艳

I was alwaysfond of visiting new scenes, and observing strange characters and manners. Evenwhena mere child I began my travels , and made many tours of discovery into foreign parts and unknown regions of mynative city, to the frequent alarm of my parents ,and the emolument of the

the town-crier. As I grew into boyhood, I extended the range of my observations. Myholiday afternoons were spent in rambles about the surrounding country. I mademyself familiar with all its places famous in history or fable. I knew everyspot where a murder or robbery had been committed, or a ghost seen. I visitedthe neighboring villages, and added greatly to my stock of knowledge, by notingtheir habits and customs, and

conversing with their sages and great men. I evenjourneyed one long summer’s day to the summit of the most distant hill, whenceI stretched my eye over many a mile of terra incognita, and was astonished tofind how vast a globe I inhabited.
