He cultivates an Acquaintance with the Misanthrope1, who favours him with a short Sketch2 of his own History.
Peregrine was extremely well pleased with this occasional rebuke3, which occurred so seasonably, that he could scarce believe it accidental. He looked upon Cadwallader as the greatest curiosity he had ever known, and cultivated the old man’s acquaintance with such insinuating4 address, that in less than a fortnight he obtained his confidence. As they one day walked into the fields together, the man-hater disclosed himself in these words:—“Though the term of our communication has been but short, you must have perceived, that I treat you with uncommon5 marks of regard; which, I assure you, is not owing to your personal accomplishments6, nor the pains you take to oblige me; for the first I overlook, and the last I see through. But there is something in your disposition7 which indicates a rooted contempt for the world, and I understand you have made some successful efforts in exposing one part of it to the ridicule8 of the other. It is upon this assurance that I offer you my advice and assistance, in prosecuting10 other schemes of the same nature; and to convince you that such an alliance is not to be rejected, I will now give you a short sketch of my history, which will be published after my death, in forty-seven volumes of my own compiling.
“I was born about forty miles from this place, of parents who, having a very old family name to support, bestowed11 their whole fortune on my elder brother; so that I inherited of my father little else than a large share of choler, to which I am indebted for a great many adventures that did not always end to my satisfaction. At the age of eighteen I was sent up to town, with a recommendation to a certain peer, who found means to amuse me with the promise of a commission for seven whole years; and ’tis odds12 but I should have made my fortune by my perseverance13, had not I been arrested, and thrown into the Marshalsea by my landlord, on whose credit I had subsisted14 three years, after my father had renounced16 me as an idle vagabond. There I remained six months, among those prisoners who have no other support than chance charity; and contracted a very valuable acquaintance, which was of great service to me in the future emergencies of my life.
“I was no sooner discharged, in consequence of an act of parliament for the relief of insolvent17 debtors18, than I went to the house of my creditor19, whom I cudgelled without mercy; and, that I might leave nothing undone20 of those things which I ought to have done, my next stage was to Westminster Hall, where I waited until my patron came forth21 from the house, and saluted22 him with a blow that laid him senseless on the pavement. But my retreat was not so fortunate as I could have wished. The chairman and lacqueys in waiting having surrounded and disarmed23 me in a trice, I was committed to Newgate, and loaded with chains; and a very sagacious gentleman, who was afterwards hanged, having sat in judgment25 upon my case, pronounced me guilty of a capital crime, and foretold26 my condemnation27 at the Old Bailey. His prognostic, however, was disappointed; for nobody appearing to prosecute28 me at the next session, I was discharged by order of the court. It would be impossible for me to recount, in the compass of one day’s conversation, all the particular exploits of which I bore considerable share. Suffice it to say, I have been, at different times, prisoner in all the jails within the bills of mortality. I have broken from every round-house on this side Temple-bar. No bailiff, in the days of my youth and desperation, durst execute a writ30 upon me without a dozen of followers31; and the justices themselves trembled when I was brought before them.
“I was once maimed by a carman, with whom I quarrelled, because he ridiculed32 my leek33 on St. David’s day; my skull34 was fractured by a butcher’s cleaver35 on the like occasion. I have been run through the body five times, and lost the tip of my left ear by a pistol bullet. In a rencontre of this kind, having left my antagonist36 for dead, I was wise enough to make my retreat into France; and a few days after my arrival at Paris, entering into conversation with some officers on the subject of politics, a dispute arose, in which I lost my temper, and spoke37 so irreverently of the Grand Monarque, that next morning I was sent to the Bastille, by virtue38 of a lettre de cachet. There I remained for some months, deprived of all intercourse39 with rational creatures; a circumstance for which I was not sorry, as I had the more time to project schemes of revenge against the tyrant40 who confined me, and the wretch41 who had betrayed my private conversation. But tired, at length, with these fruitless suggestions, I was fain to unbend the severity of my thoughts by a correspondence with some industrious42 spiders, who had hung my dungeon43 with their ingenious labours.
“I considered their work with such attention that I soon became an adept44 in the mystery of weaving, and furnished myself with as many useful observations and reflections on that art, as will compose a very curious treatise45, which I intend to bequeath to the Royal Society, for the benefit of our woollen manufacture; and this with a view to perpetuate46 my own name, rather than befriend my country; for, thank Heaven! I am weaned from all attachments47 of that kind, and look upon myself as one very little obliged to any society whatsoever48. Although I presided with absolute power over this long-legged community, and distributed punishments and rewards to each, according to his deserts, I grew impatient of my situation; and my natural disposition one day prevailing49, like a fire which had long been smothered50, I wreaked51 the fury of my indignation upon my innocent subjects, and in a twinkling destroyed the whole race. While I was employed in this general massacre52, the turnkey, who brought me food, opened the door, and perceiving my transport, shrugged53 up his shoulders, and leaving my allowance, went out, pronouncing, Le pauvre diable! la tete lui tourne. My passion no sooner subsided54 than I resolved to profit by this opinion of the jailor, and from that day counterfeited55 lunacy with such success, that in less than three months I was delivered from the Bastille, and sent to the galleys56, in which they thought my bodily vigour58 might be of service, although the faculties59 of my mind were decayed. Before I was chained to the oar60, I received three hundred stripes by way of welcome, that I might thereby61 be rendered more tractable62, notwithstanding I used all the arguments in my power to persuade them I was only mad north-north-west, and, when the wind was southerly, knew a hawk63 from a handsaw.
“In our second cruise we had the good fortune to be overtaken by a tempest, during which the slaves were unbound, that they might contribute the more to the preservation64 of the galley57, and have a chance for their lives, in case of shipwreck65. We were no sooner at liberty, than, making ourselves masters of the vessel66, we robbed the officers, and ran her on shore among rocks on the coast of Portugal; from whence I hastened to Lisbon, with a view of obtaining my passage in some ship bound for England, where, by this time, I hoped my affair was forgotten.
“But, before this scheme could be accomplished67, my evil genius led me into company; and, being intoxicated68, I began to broach69 doctrines70 on the subject of religion, at which some of the party were scandalized and incensed71; and I was next day dragged out of bed by the officers of the Inquisition, and conveyed to a cell in the prison belonging to that tribunal.
“At my first examination, my resentment72 was strong enough to support me under the torture, which I endured without flinching73; but my resolution abated74, and my zeal75 immediately cooled, when I understood from a fellow-prisoner, who groaned76 on the other side of the partition, that in a short time there would be an auto77 da fe; in consequence of which I should, in all probability, be doomed78 to the flames, if I would not renounce15 my heretical errors, and submit to such penance79 as the church should think fit to prescribe. This miserable80 wretch was convicted of Judaism, which he had privately81 practised by connivance82 for many years, until he had amassed83 a fortune sufficient to attract the regard of the church. To this he fell a sacrifice, and accordingly prepared himself for the stake; while I, not at all ambitious of the crown of martyrdom, resolved to temporize84; so that, when I was brought to the question the second time, I made a solemn recantation. As I had no worldly fortune to obstruct85 my salvation86, I was received into the bosom87 of the church, and, by way of penance, enjoined88 to walk barefoot to Rome in the habit of a pilgrim.
“During my peregrination89 through Spain, I was detained as a spy, until I could procure90 credentials91 from the Inquisition at Lisbon; and behaved with such resolution and reserve, that, after being released, I was deemed a proper person to be employed in quality of a secret intelligencer at a certain court. This office I undertook without hesitation92; and being furnished with money and bills of credit, crossed the Pyrenees, with intention to revenge myself upon the Spaniards for the severities I had undergone during my captivity93.
“Having therefore effectually disguised myself by a change of dress, and a large patch on one eye, I hired an equipage, and appeared at Bologna in quality of an itinerant94 physician; in which capacity I succeeded tolerably well, till my servants decamped in the night with my baggage, and left me in the condition of Adam. In short, I have travelled over the greatest part of Europe, as a beggar, pilgrim, priest, soldier, gamester, and quack95; and felt the extremes of indigence96 and opulence97, with the inclemency98 of weather in all its vicissitudes99. I have learned that the characters of mankind are everywhere the same; that common sense and honesty bear an infinitely100 small proportion to folly101 and vice9; and that life is at best a paltry102 province.
“After having suffered innumerable hardships, dangers, and disgraces, I returned to London, where I lived some years in a garret, and picked up a subsistence, such as it was, by vending103 purges104 in the streets, from the back of a pied horse, in which situation I used to harangue105 the mob in broken English, under pretence106 of being an High German doctor.
“At last an uncle died, by whom I inherited an estate of three hundred pounds per annum, though, in his lifetime, he would not have parted with a sixpence to save my soul and body from perdition.
“I now appear in the world, not as a member of any community, or what is called a social creature, but merely as a spectator, who entertains himself with the grimaces107 of a jack-pudding, and banquets his spleen in beholding108 his enemies at loggerheads. That I may enjoy this disposition, abstracted from all interruption, danger, and participation109, I feign110 myself deaf; an expedient111 by which I not only avoid all disputes and their consequences, but also become master of a thousand little secrets, which are every day whispered in my presence, without any suspicion of their being overheard. You saw how I handled that shallow politician at my Lady Plausible’s the other day. The same method I practise upon the crazed Tory, the bigot Whig, the sour, supercilious112 pedant113, the petulant114 critic, the blustering115 coward, the fawning116 fool, the pert imp29, sly sharper, and every other species of knaves117 and fools, with which this kingdom abounds118.
“In consequence of my rank and character, I obtain free admission to the ladies, among whom I have acquired the appellation119 of the Scandalous Chronicle. As I am considered, while silent, in no other light than that of a footstool or elbow-chair, they divest120 their conversation of all restraint before me, and gratify my sense of hearing with strange things, which, if I could prevail upon myself to give the world that satisfaction, would compose a curious piece of secret history, and exhibit a quite different idea of characters from what is commonly entertained.
“By this time, young gentleman, you may perceive that I have it in my power to be a valuable correspondent, and that it will be to your interest to deserve my confidence.”
Here the misanthrope left off speaking, desirous to know the sentiments of our hero, who embraced the proffered121 alliance in a transport of joy and surprise; and the treaty was no sooner concluded, than Mr. Crabtree began to perform articles, by imparting to him a thousand delicious secrets, from the possession of which he promised himself innumerable scenes of mirth and enjoyment122. By means of this associate, whom he considered as the ring of Gyges, he foresaw, that he should be enabled to penetrate123, not only into the chambers124, but even to the inmost thoughts of the female sex. In order to ward24 off suspicion, they agreed to revile125 each other in public, and meet at a certain private rendezvous126, to communicate their mutual127 discoveries, and concert their future operations.
But, soon after this agreement, our adventurer was summoned to the garrison128 by an express from his friend Hatchway, representing that the commodore lay at the point of death; and, in less than an hour after the receipt of this melancholy129 piece of news, he set out post for his uncle’s habitation, having previously130 taken leave of Crabtree, who promised to meet him in two months in London; and settled a correspondence with Gauntlet, who proposed to remain at Bath during the rest of the season.
