Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"In the first place, I was removed from all the wickedness of the world here. I had neither the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye, or the pride of life. I had nothing to covet; for I had all that I was now capable of enjoying; I was lord of the whole manor... I might call myself king, or emperor..."-Daniel Defoe. Robinson Crusoe (1719)
