disaster has accompanied the commencement of an enterprise which
you have regarded with such evil forebodings. I arrived here
yesterday, and my first task is to assure my dear sister of my
welfare and increasing confidence in the success of my undertaking.
I am already far north of London, and as I walk in the streets of
Petersburgh, I feel a cold northern breeze play upon my cheeks,
which braces my nerves and fills me with delight. Do you understand
this feeling? This breeze, which has travelled from the regions
towards which I am advancing, gives me a foretaste of those icy
climes. Inspirited by this wind of promise, my daydreams become
more fervent and vivid. I try in vain to be persuaded that the pole
is the seat of frost and desolation; it ever presents itself to my
imagination as the region of beauty and delight. There, Margaret,
the sun is forever visible, its broad disk just skirting the
horizon and diffusing a perpetual splendour. There - for with your
leave, my sister, I will put some trust in preceding navigators -
there snow and frost are banished; and, sailing over a calm sea, we
may be wafted to a land surpassing in wonders and in beauty every
region hitherto discovered on the habitable globe. Its productions
and features may be without example, as the phenomena of the
heavenly bodies undoubtedly are in those undiscovered solitudes.
What may not be expected in a country of eternal light?
