Whether the ensuing pages were really the dream or vision of some very pious and holy person; or whether they were really written in the other world, and sent back to this, which is the opinion of many (though I think too much inclining to superstition); or lastly, whether, as infinitely the greatest part imagine, they were really the production of some choice inhabitant of New Bethlehem, is not necessary nor easy to determine. It will be abundantly sufficient if I give the reader an account by what means they came into my possession. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

_The Journal of a Voyage to Lisbon_ is an account of Fieldings last trip, an effort to regain his health by moving to the better climate afforded by Lisbon. Its main interest for the modern reader is to make clear the tedium, discomfort and unpredictability of travel by sailing ship. It takes the party over a month just to escape the coast of England. Part of this time is spent in lodgings on the Isle of Wight as they await favorable winds. Greedy landladies, supply boats determined to get the most out of every traveler and an impatient and unpredictable Captain make the voyage more than usually unpleasant for the dying Fielding--who nevertheless wrote to earn money for his family.
