Travelling abroad is certainly of lingular ufe to the accompliOiing a 
<5er)tleman. It enlarges all its Faculties, and takes off that narrownefs 
orlittlcnefs of Mind, which for want of knowing the World, is apt t#

and admire the abundant Happinefs of their own Country, much better 
than they did before.

he will fcldom have juft caufe Complams. He muft be contented with 
what he finds upon the fpot, and muft rake care to put his Hort to as lit* 
■fie trouble as- may be. The more he appears a Man of ^saljty, the 
more he muft expedl: ibmeiimes to pay for it •, but in the general, if he be 
-prudent, and of a quiet peaceable Temper, he will Travel in t/’b Coun- 
try with as much frugaliry and Tir dealing, as he can in any ocher, not- 
w ihftandmgche Clamors -which have fetnerimes been thicugh the indiferc-
