Book Description
Excerpt from The Desultory Man, Vol. 1 of 2 Fencing, riding, cudgel-playing, varied the time with mathematics, geometry, and astronomy. History came in for a great portion of my attention, and books of trav els maintained their share. Thus did I become one of the most desultory beings that the world ever produced; so that, before I was eighteen years of age, my mind was literally like a pawnbroker's Shop, full of an odd assemblage of unconnected things, huddled together in the storehouses of memory, unmarked and disarranged, and di icult to be got at. Many of these stores also were calculated to be injurious to me in various ways; they did prove so, certainly, in some degree; but that they did not become more so, I owe, I believe, to two causes - first, my early fondness for the writings of Southey, where virtue, robed in poetry and eloquence, is Splendid enough to catch even imagination; and next, my having fallen in love before I was much exposed to the temptations of the world.
