Critical Opinions on this Work.
This entertaining work is the production of an ingenious and sensible writer. The account of the excavations in Pompeii is the most ample in our language; and the discoveries in Herculaneum also, are well detailed. Miss Starke has very judiciously given instructions for visiting the curiosities of Italy, with routes, inns, prices of provisions, carriages, &c. which will render the work a very useful publication to future Travellers; indeed, it forms the best Vade-Mecum and Livre de poste which we recollect to have seen. — Monthly Review.
This Work possesses considerable merit; and when the long-expected hour of peace shall set at liberty the gay, the restless, the spendthrifts, and the invalids, who pant after Voyages and Travels to the delightful regions of France, Switzerland, and Italy, it will be one of the most useful Companions they can take with them, The subjects are arranged with Judgment, Taste, and Precision, and calculated to spare the British Traveller the trouble, expence, and inconvenience of incumbering his baggage with ten or twelve duodecumo volumes of Vade-mecums, the contents of which Miss Starke has dexterously engrafted on her own genuine stock of knowledge and observation. The result of a careful examination of her historical narratives enables us to declare, that her work contains a fund of information entirely new, and a perusal of her judicious remarks on the late Revolutions in Italy may serve as a lesson of instruction to Ministers of State.European Magazine

A TOUR ON THE PRAIRIES.
CONTENTS.
INTRODUCTION.
Having, since my return to the United States, made a wide and varied tour, for the gratification of my curiosity, it has been supposed that I did it for the purpose of writing a book; and it has more than once been intimated in the papers, that such a work was actually in the press, containing scenes and sketches of the Far West.
These announcements, gratuitously made for me, before I had put pen to paper, or even contemplated any thing of the kind, have embarrassed me exceedingly. I have been like a poor actor, who finds himself announced for a part he had no thought of playing, and his appearance expected on the stage before he has committed a line to memory.
I have always had a repugnance, amounting almost to disability, to write in the face of expectation; and, in the present instance, I was expected to write about a region fruitful of wonders and adventures, and which had already been made the theme of spirit-stirring narratives from able pens; yet about which I had nothing wonderful or adventurous to offer.
Since such, however, seems to be the desire of the public, and that they take sufficient interest in my wanderings to deem them worthy of recital, I have hastened, as promptly as possible, to meet, in some degree, the expectation which others have excited. For this purpose, I have, as it were, plucked a few leaves out of my memorandum book, containing a month's foray beyond the outposts of human habitation, into the wilderness of the Far West. It forms, indeed, but a small portion of an extensive tour; but it is an episode, complete as far as it goes. As such, I offer it to the public, with great diffidence. It is a simple narrative of every-day occurrences; such as happen to every one who travels the prairies. I have no wonders to describe, nor any moving accidents by flood or field to narrate; and as to those who look for a marvellous or adventurous story at my hands, I can only reply, in the words of the weary knife-grinder: "Story! God bless you, I have none to tell, sir."

# All These Things Added/Part 2/The Righteous Man

Layout 2
THE RIGHTEOUS MAN
The righteous man is invincible. No enemy can possibly overcome or confound him; and he needs no other protection than that of his own integrity and holiness.
As it is impossible for evil to overcome Good, so the righteous man can never be brought low by the unrighteous. Slander, envy, hatred, malice can never reach the righteous man nor cause him any suffering, and those who try to injure him only succeed ultimately in bringing ignominy upon themselves.
The righteous man, having nothing to hide, committing no acts that require stealth, and harboring no thoughts and desires that he would not like others to know, is fearless and unashamed. His step is firm, his body upright, and his speech direct and without ambiguity. He looks everybody in the face. How can he fear any who wrongs none? How can he be ​ashamed before any who deceives none? Ceasing from all wrong he can never be wronged; ceasing from all deceit he can never be deceived.
The righteous man, performing all his work with scrupulous diligence, and living above sin, is invulnerable at every point. He who has slain the inward enemies of virtue can never be brought low by any outward enemy; neither does he need to seek any protection against them, righteousness being an all-sufficient protection.
The unrighteous man is vulnerable at almost every point; living in his passions, the slave of prejudices, impulses, and ill-formed opinions, he is continually suffering, as he imagines, at the hands of others. The slanders, attacks, and accusations of others cause him great suffering because they have a basis of truth in himself; not having the protection of righteousness, he endeavors to justify and protect himself by resorting to retaliation and specious argument, and even to subterfuge and deceit.
​The partially righteous man is vulnerable at every point where he falls short of righteousness, and should the righteous man fall from his righteousness and give way to one sin, his invincibility is gone, for he has thereby placed himself where attack and accusation can justly reach and injure him, because he has first injured himself.
If a man suffers or is injured through the instrumentality of others, let him look to himself; putting aside self-pity and self-defence, he will find in his own heart the source of all his woe.
No evil can happen to the righteous man who has cut off the source of evil in himself; living in the All-Good, and abstaining from sin in thought, word, and deed, whatever happens to him is good; neither can any person, event, or circumstance cause him suffering, for the tyranny of circumstance is utterly destroyed for him who has broken the bonds of sin.
The suffering, the sorrowing, the weary and broken-hearted ever seek a sorrowless refuge, a haven of perpetual peace. Let ​such go to the refuge of the righteous life; let them come now and enter the haven of the sinless state, for sorrow cannot overtake the righteous; suffering cannot reach him. who does not waste in self-seeking his spiritual substance; and he cannot be afflicted by weariness and unrest whose heart is at peace with all.
