Excerpt from Coelebs in Search of a Wife: Comprehending Observations on Domestic Habits and Manners, Religion and Morals As soon as I arrived at my native place, I lent my mana script to a confidential friend, as the shortest way of import ing to him whatever had occurred to me during our separa tion, together with my reflections on those occurrences.

He obviated all objections arising from my want of leisure, during my present interesting engagements, by offering to undertake the whole business himself, and to release me from any further trouble, as he was just setting out for London, where he proposed passing more time than the printing would re uire.
