To Mrs. Saville, England

You will rejoice to hear that no disaster has accompanied the commencement of an enterprise which you have regarded with such evil forebodings.

I am already far north of London, and as I walk in the streets of Petersburgh, I feel a cold northern breeze play upon my cheeks, which braces my nerves and fills me with delight.

FRANKENSTEINLETTERS

Letter 1

St. Petersburgh, Dec. 11th, 17—. To Mrs. Saville, England

You will rejoice to hear that no disaster has accompanied the commencement of an enter-prise which you have regarded with such evil forebodings. I arrived here yesterday, and myfirst task is to assure my dear sister of my welfare and increasing confidence in the successof my undertaking.

I am already far north of London, and as I walk in the streets of Petersburgh, I feel acold northern breeze play upon my cheeks, which braces my nerves and fills me withdelight. Do you understand this feeling? This breeze, which has travelled from the regionstowards which I am advancing, gives me a foretaste of those icy climes.

Inspirited by this wind of promise, my daydreams become more fervent and vivid. I tryin vain to be persuaded that the pole is the seat of frost and desolation; it ever presents itselfto my imagination as the region of beauty and delight. There, Margaret, the sun is for evervisible, its broad disk just skirting the horizon and diffusing a perpetual splendour.

There, for with your leave, my sister, I will put some trust in preceding navigators, theresnow and frost are banished; and, sailing over a calm sea, we may be wafted to a land sur-passing in wonders and in beauty every region hitherto discovered on the habitable globe.Its productions and features may be without example, as the phenomena of the heavenlybodies undoubtedly are in those undiscovered solitudes.

What may not be expected in a country of eternal light? I may there discover thewondrous power which attracts the needle and may regulate a thousand celestial obser-vations that require only this voyage to render their seeming eccentricities consistent forever. I shall satiate my ardent curiosity with the sight of a part of the world never beforevisited, and may tread a land never before imprinted by the foot of man.

These are my enticements, and they are sufficient to conquer all fear of danger or deathand to induce me to commence this laborious voyage with the joy a child feels when heembarks in a little boat, with his holiday mates, on an expedition of discovery up his nativeriver.

Six years have passed since I resolved on my present undertaking. I can, even now,remember the hour from which I dedicated myself to this great enterprise. I commenced byinuring my body to hardship. I accompanied the whale-fishers on several expeditions to theNorth Sea; I voluntarily endured cold, famine, thirst, and want of sleep.
