Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters From the Continent The matter of Travels therefore, will only make an incidental part of these Letters; and will only be noticed so far as it may give rise to the subject which may occupy the excursions of the author's mind. Faculties ever at work, an heart ever in motion, weave webs, and build castles, ln every situation which they fondly desire to preserve and communicate. There are few pleasures equal to those of literature: there are scarcely any so innocent and pure: scarcely any so noble: and scarcely any so beneficial: when their fruits are not buried in the bosoms of the cultivators. I never rest till I have obtained an outline, at least, ofthe history of the place that I inhabit but I shall not trouble the reader with what may be easily found in printed books.
