Strana 131 - his ambition so far as to think of compassing the globe " under these disadvantageous circumstances. My memory " of past errors makes me diffident for the future. The " wretched condition, weakness, and disorder of the faculties " I must employ in my inquiries, increase my apprehensions. " And the impossibility of amending or correcting these
