First words

In the first part of Robinson Crusoe, at page one hundred and twenty-nine, you will find it thus written: 'Now I saw, though too late, The Folly of beginning a Work before we count the Cost, and before we judge rightly of our own Strength to go through with it.'

Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0451528298, Paperback)

"The first, the longest, and the best of modern English detective novels" (T.S. Eliot), The Moonstone is a fascinating excursion into the sinister shadows that lie just beyond the ordered landscape of Victorian-era English society.
