who wrote the first travellers

The oldest guide book In the
world is the Description of
Greece. by Pausanias. Little is
known Of him except that he was
born in Lydia and prospered in
the second century under the EN-
peror Hadrian. Pausan Mas was an
old man Of simple faith when he
started out on journey through
Greece. Although he was not gift
ed with power Of vivid observa-
ton. he kent his eyes and ears
open for bits of gossip thrcv-n out
by reckless guides. He made a
study Of as many local histories
as he could find. and consequently
he was a veritable moving enc!v.
clopedia OF history and geography.
Although it was admitted thot
Pausanias was uninspired and mr..
imaginative. his description Of
famous personages and places
comprise six volumes, still much
priced in England.

In many ways it runs counter TO
the things Jim has been taught
at home and in school. 1t runs
counter to many of Jim's personal

Being neither, Jim falls in line.
He begins to look at life not
only through his own eyes, but
through the eyes of all those mil
lions of men who have tackled
life before him. He begins TO
see how his own desires and con
victions must be modified or
eliminated to suit the larger plan.
