CHILDE HAROLD'S PILGRIMAGE

_A ROMAUNT_.

"L'univers est une espece de livre, dont on n'a lu que la
premiere page quand on n'a vu que son pays. J'en ai feuillete un
assez grand nombre, que j'ai trouve egalement mauvaises. Cet
examen ne m'a point ete infructueux. Je haissais ma patrie. Toutes
les impertinences des peuples divers, parmi lesquels j'ai vecu,
m'ont reconcilie avec elle. Quand je n'aurais tire d'autre
benefice de mes voyages que celui-la, je n'en regretterais ni les
frais ni les fatigues."--_Le Cosmopolite, ou, le Citoyen du
Monde_, par Fougeret de Monbron. Londres, 1753.
