Augustine Burrell tells the following incident which goes to prove that
things are great or small to men, according to very local points of
view:
Bonnor, the Australian cricketer, told us that until that
evening he had never heard of Dr. Johnson. Thereupon somebody
was thoughtless enough to titter audibly. “Yes,” added Bonnor,
in heightened tones, and drawing himself proudly up, “and what
is more, I come from a great country, where you might ride a
horse sixty miles a day for three months, and never meet anybody
who had.”
(1875)
