Description
Excerpt from Ultima Thule, Vol. 1: Or a Summer in Iceland
Peter Porcupine, over combativeness, and the undue spirit of opposition that characterises an objector-general, with the morbid object of gaining popularity by stating something new - a hasty judgment, which justifies me in writing these volumes, and in supporting my previously expressed views. I can appeal for confirmation to the dozen intelligent English tourists who were in Iceland at the same time as myself: all united with me in deridin'g their previous conceptions, and in forming the estimate here offered to the public.
