Excerpt from The Young Rifleman's Comrade: A Narrative of His Military Adventures, Captivity, and Shipwreck

There is a saying amongst us, that fortune is Spherical; and I think there is some truth in the adage; since this comparison may be used in another sense besides the common one. The form of a sphere appears to the observer that of a complete, perfect, self-existent figure; and in like manner as its unvaried outline proves unattractive to our eye, so does the smooth course of the fortunate man fail to command our interest.
