Excerpt from Guy Mannering, Vol. 1 of 3: Or the Astrologer
"He could not deny, that, looking round upon the dreary region, and seeing nothing but bleak field?, and naked trees, hills obscured by fogs, and flats covered with inundation?, he did for some time suffer melancholy to prevail upon him, and wished himself again safe at home." Travels of Will. Marvel, Idler, No. 49.
It was in the beginning of the month of November, 17-, when a young English gentleman, who had just left the university of Oxford, made use of the liberty afforded him to visit some parts of the north of England; and curiosity extended his tour into the adjacent frontier of the sister country.
