# Page Description This is a page of running prose from what appears to be a travel narrative or essay titled "A Month's Tour" (page 94). The text discusses how travel broadens the mind by wearing away narrow prejudices, then shifts to a specific anecdote about a Londoner accustomed to refined tavern dining who finds himself uncomfortable in Dublin. The passage advises that such a person must adopt philosophical patience and accept conditions as found, rather than expecting the delicacy he knew in London. The page ends mid-sentence with "With this refo-lution," suggesting continuation on the next page.
