EN His mental endowments were the peculiar care of Eben Bonabben, who sought to initiate him into the abstruse lore of Egypt; but in this the prince made little progress, and it was soon evident that he had no turn for philosophy.
GL Os seus dotes mentais eran o coidado especial de Eben Bonabben, que intentaba inicialo no abstruso saber do Exipto; mais nisto o príncipe facía pouco progreso, e foi pronto evidente que non tiña xeito ningún para a filosofía.

tradición

EN His historical researches, however, did not lie so much among books as among men; for the former are lamentably scanty on his favorite topics; whereas he found the old burghers, and still more their wives, rich in that legendary lore, so invaluable to true history.
GL Sen embargo, os seus estudios históricos baseounos máis nos homes que nos libros, xa que estes non eran, por desgracia, tan exhaustivos nos seus temas favoritos coma os vellos aldeáns e, sobre todo, nas súas mulleres, que tanto saben desas fantásticas tradicións, tan pouco valoradas pola historia real.
