There is such little time for over-squeamishness at present the opportunity so easily slips away, the very period of life at which a man chooses to venture, if ever, is so confined, that it is no bad rule to preach up the necessity, in such instances, of a little violence done to the feelings, and of efforts made in defiance of strict and sober calculation. With respect to that fastidiousness which disturbs the right conduct of the understanding it must be observed that there are two modes of judging of anything: one, by the test of what has actually been done in the same way before; the other, by what we can conceive may be done in that way.

The London brother’s immediate impression was that his mind was ill, had some fullness of blood in the region of the brain and had best be bled. So he put on his dressing gown to call up his servant. He heard the sound of a carriage in the street which came over and stopped at his door. On his opening the window and asking who was there, he was answered “A messenger to take you to your brother who is very ill [and] supposed to be dying.” Of course he accompanied the messenger instantly. When he arrived in his brother’s room, there were several people present. On sight of them all, the brother rose in his bed with difficulty and spoke these words: “John, you have seen me before tonight and you know it!” With that, he fell back on his pillow and never spoke another word.

As it would be of small advantage to a man to live in a house with 10,000 windows if he never looked out of one of them, so a man who goes around the world constantly shut up in his own self-satisfactions and prejudices can get very little out of it. Indeed, it may be said of such people that they cannot see anything for themselves. They are always in their own way. They themselves are the obstacle always interposed between their own mental state and the sub/object. Without reflection and abstraction from self it may be questioned whether any tangible sub/object in the universe is capable of producing a very beneficial effect on the mind. Mount Vesuvio for example is a vast and always changing mass of fire and cinders. There is nothing much more remarkable in that ipso facto than there would be in a gigantic gas works.

The falls of Niagara are but so many thousand million gallons of water but the consideration that a great river is throwing itself over a certain rock and that in the course of ages it must weather/wear the rock away and change the whole face of the country thereabouts is quite another thing. We must all put something of ourselves into everything we see and if we do not so train ourselves so that we have something to put some bank to draw upon some capital to invest nothing can have the charms for us that it is meant/wont to have. Consequently it is always possible for civilised men to conceive how little interesting nature is to the savage and how very small an appreciation he has of her wonders and beauties distanced from his wants and appetites.

I allude to the kind of man who, when he sees a remarkable thing, thinks not of the thing itself but of what he shall/should say of it. A state of mind so excessively selfish and despicable that I think on the whole I would rather travel with a […] young Whig or even a prejudiced old one than with a person from whom so little improvement is to be got and from whom such constant annoyance is to be derived.
