Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gilbert the Adventurer: Or Travels in Distant Countries Gilbert gives the reader of a world of which little is known, the strange people he brings upon the stage, and the stranger customs which he so quaintly describes, render his book both entertaining and instructive. The useful information the reader gleans from a perusal of these pages will be treasured up and remembered, when the lighter vein of narrative that served to awaken his curiosity is forgotten. Amusement thus becomes the handmaid of know ledge; she cannot occupy a more honourable position it is one which she holds in this book; and this constitutes its chief recommendation, and its sure pass port to a large circle of grateful admirers.
