IN

FOREIGN TRAVEL.

BY ISAAC APPLETON JEWETT.

"To know one's-self is, according to a Milesian sage, the only wisdom. I doubt if there be a
man living, who so truly knows himself, that of himself he can deliver a true opinion. And yet
one man hesitates not, to pronounce concerning the state and character of another man, of whom
he must necessarily know still less than of himself; nay, your Traveller presumes to frame and
deliver opinions about whole nations, in which work, the chances against truth of opinion, are
multiplied some fifteen or twenty millions of times."-De La Fronde.

Entered according to act of Congress, in the year 1838,

By CHARLES C. LITTLE AND JAMES BROWN,

in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the District of Massachusetts.
