'/ Travellers are often censured for enumerating what are called trifling occurrences : the cen- 

 sure appears to be unjjist ; trifling occurrences are often very amusing, and lead to important specu- 

 lations. Every man of sense and observation must see, as he passes through a foreign country, 

 some characteristic and singular circumstances, which cannot fail to please in the recital. Truth 

 only is required : and truth, told with judgment and delicacy, will sufficiently recommend the 

 narrative." Vicesimus Knox.
