‘Like the moon when one sees it early in the month, or fancies he has seen it rise through mists.’
‘So to see, as when one sees or fancies he has seen the dim moon in the early dawn.’
‘Yield not thou to thy hardships, but advance more boldly against them.’
‘Learn from me, my child, to bear thee like a man and to strive strenuously, from others learn to be fortunate.’
‘Have the courage, stranger, to despise riches, and mould thyself too to be a fit companion of the God.’
Transcriber’s Note
The author’s footnotes have been moved to the end of the volume.
In Chapter V on [page 180], the printer has missed the section heading “II.” It has been restored; the two following section headings were changed from “II.” to “III.” ([page 185]) and “III.” to “IV.” ([page 190]), matching the Table of Contents. In the Table of Contents, several page references were corrected: [“61” changed to “60”], [“294” changed to “295”], [“354” changed to “355”], [“364” changed to “365” (twice).]
