Hermsprong or Man As He Is Not is a novel written by Robert Bage. The story follows the adventures of a young man named Hermsprong, who was raised by a group of free-thinking philosophers in the countryside. Hermsprong is highly educated and has a unique perspective on the world, which often clashes with the beliefs of those around him.As Hermsprong travels to London, he encounters a variety of characters, including a wealthy merchant, a group of actors, and a young woman named Celinda. Hermsprong's interactions with these individuals highlight the social and political issues of the time, including class inequality and the treatment of women.Throughout the novel, Hermsprong challenges traditional societal norms and encourages others to think for themselves. The book is a satirical commentary on the customs and beliefs of 18th-century England, and it remains a thought-provoking read to this day.The latter are, indeed, rather open and engaging, than graceful. There is an ease about him, but it is an unstudied, unimitated ease. It seems his own; and becomes him so well, that he acquiries our good will, almost before he has spoke. That his conversation will support his credit with ladies in general, is more than I dare affirm. I will give you a small specimen, that you may judge for yourself. By the bye, he has a very ugly name; Hermsprong; it sounds monstrous Germanish.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
