Excerpt from Vargas, Vol. 1 of 3: A Tale of Spain
In sending the following Tale into the world, it may not be improper to account for its appearance, by giving some information respecting its Author.
The late Mr. Cornelius Villiers was destined by his parents for the church, and having passed with credit through the University, was about to take orders, when a most advantageous prospect was held out to him by a distant relation, a respectable and wealthy merchant, established at Cadiz, who proposed to make him his sole heir if he would settle himself in his counting-house, and fit himself for the business of a commercial life.
