And I hope you'll find 'em both, seeing Man is naturally an Inquisitive Creature, continually hankering after Novelties; and though for the most part a meer Stranger at home, regardless of the Geography of his own Breast, (as I shall shew in a Treatise entituled, A Map of Man: Or, Vander in Minature, which will contain my Rambles round the Little World;) the worst and most deplorable Ignorance, would yet seem acquainted with all the World beside.
