Excerpt from Visit to the Monastery of La Trappe: In 1817; With Notes Taken During a Tour Through Le Perche, Normandy, Bretagne, Poitou, Anjou, Le Bocage, Touraine, Orleanois, and the Environs of Paris
IN justice to the public and to myself, I must disavow for the following pages any higher} literary pretension than what is con veyed by the simple title of Notes, under which I have ventured to glve them to the world. I had no other aim in writing but to occupy as rationally as I could the hours of' travel, and no other object in publishing but to impart to others as plainly as I could a por tion of the pleasure I myself experienced. It: has somewhere been remarked to this effect.
