| 1 | Author: | Butler, Samuel, 1835-1902. | Requires cookie* | | Title: | Erewhon; or, Over the range | | | Published: | 2000 | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | Description: | If the reader will excuse me, I will say nothing of my antecedents, nor of
the circumstances which led me to leave my native country; the narrative
would be tedious to him and painful to myself. Suffice it, that when I left
home it was with the intention of going to some new colony, and either finding,
or even perhaps purchasing, waste crown land suitable for cattle or sheep
farming, by which means I thought that I could better my fortunes more rapidly
than in England. | | Similar Items: | Find |
