Reseña del editor
Excerpt from Select Pieces in Verse and Prose, Vol. 1
The author of these volumes was born in London, February the 4th, 1783, and even in infancy shewed signs of his future character and talents. All knowledge was readily received by him; but from the first dawn of reason, religious instruction was peculiarly acceptable to him.
After attending the grammar school at Seven Oaks as a day scholar, he was placed at Hyde Abbey School in Winchester, and was afterwards removed to the College there, but not on the foundation. Here he had for his Master the Rev. Doctor William Stanley Goddard, whose kind and judicious treatment contributed in no small degree to the formation of his future character.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is an assemblage of journals and letters written by a young man during a voyage he took abroad with a relative in 1810 due to his declining health. The journal begins aboard the ship as it embarks from England for the South of Europe and continues on to document his travels throughout the Mediterranean. Along with a richness of descriptive detail, the author shares his learned observations of various places and reflections on life, including stops in Spain, Portugal, Gibraltar, Sardinia, and Sicily before finally arriving in Malta. The author's voice is honest and engaging and throughout the text, he demonstrates a keen interest in the people and cultures he encounters. He writes with introspection and warmth, revealing his susceptibility to "the glories of creation" while grappling with serious illness. These writings provide valuable insights as a historical record of both the time period and the young author's personal journey. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330431443_0
