Economics by Example by Anderson

Economics by Example by Anderson

Excerpt from Views a-Foot: Or Europe Seen With Knapsack and Staff

He is now fully aware how much he has omitted from these pages which would have been curious, and perhaps instructive, to the reader, how many blunders of inexpe rience, how much thoughtless confidence in the world, how many painful struggles with pride and a too-selfish inde pendence, how many strange extremities of want and amus ing expedients of relief. His reluctance to relate much that was entirely personal and could not have been told Without some little sacrifice of feeling has since been re gretted, from the belief that it might have been useful to others. Perhaps, however, it will be better that each one should learn these lessons for himself. There is a sensation of novelty which, in the most embarrassing situations, pro duces a desperate kind of enjoyment, and, in addition to this, the sufferer's sympathies for humanity are very much deepened and enlarged by an acquaintance with its trials.
