If you travel with a courier and depend upon him to arrange your hotel bills and other matters , you will be cheated by every one , from the boy who blacks your boots , to the magnificent artist , who undertakes to fill your picture gallery with the works of the `` old masters . '' If Murillo , Raphael , and Guido could see the pictures brought annually to this country as genuine works of their pencils , we are certain that they would tear their ghostly hair , wring their shadowy hands , and return to the tomb again in disgust . Ignorant of the language of the country you are visiting , you will be swindled in the little villages and the large cities by the inn-keepers and the hack-drivers , in the country and in the town , morning , noon , and evening , daily , hourly , and weekly ; so , again I say , study the languages if you propose going abroad . In a foreign country nothing stamps the difference between the gentleman and the clown more strongly than the regard they pay to foreign customs . While the latter will exclaim against every strange dress or dish , and even show signs of disgust if the latter does not please him , the former will endeavor , as far as is in his power , to `` do in Rome as Romans do . '' Accustom yourself , as soon as possible , to the customs of the nation which you are visiting , and , as far as you can without any violation of principle , follow them .
