Excerpt from The Bungalow and the Tent, or a Visit to Ceylon
Friend, be not tedious, said the Rajah Of Travancore to a Christian missionary, in the sixteenth century, remember life is short. I have endeavoured to pay due attention to this admirable advice; and if what I have written be wearisome, the Offence can scarcely be visited on the quantity.
It has been laid to the charge of many authors, that they deprive themselves of sleep, in order to procure it for their readers. I plead a conscientious not guilty to this allegation. Blessed be the man who in vented sleep, says the immortal Squire; and blessed be he, I repeat, who imparts it by any means, whether Doctor, Preacher, Author.
