Man, as he comes from the hand of nature, is extremely weak and infirm. He comes into the world, destitute of food, clothing, or any thing necessary for subsistence; and yet utterly incapable of supplying himself with them. He is also

It will be but to a little purpose to direct children, before they come to the age of reason, by moral precepts. Without actual restraints they commonly follow their own passions and inclinations, rather than the the sober voice of reason and morality. The gratification and indulgence of the passions

[recto] {..} But if his conduct is impeachable, his reputation will decay, if it is not keeps continually glowing with illustrious actions. His life must be filled with a succession of miracles and surprising exploits, or his fame will stagnate and decay. For when a person is raised to public fame by some extraordinary actions, he can acquire no praise for any other actions, however great or remarkable, unless they exceed those by which he gained his former reputation. He must also excel others in everything or his reputation will not escape the impure vulgar. After all, his desire of fame increases his misery, and opens new sources of distress. His passion raises uneasy emotions, subjects him to many accidental troubles, and prevents him from enjoying any of the comfort of life. If he receive no praise where expects it; or if it rise not so high as he thinks it ought, he will be greatly disappointed. And if praise itself be so disgusting surely he cannot bear up under misfortune and grace.

[Page] 62 It continually presents us with instructions and admonishions, without which we should be in danger of relaxing in our principles, and sink, into brutalism and depravity. Therefore it his happy for us, that people in general are inclined to reading, and that books of morality so much absurd. It is happy for mankind, that learning is encouraged: for we can scarce form an idea of the appearance of society, and the depravity and wretchedness of mankind, if books and teachers went laid aside for but one century. The most entertaining and amusing books are the best for youth at an early age; for when whey consider reading as pleasure they will be desirous to learn. Any book, which conveys instruction in an easy, plain, and humorous mannor, will claim their attention; while the more solid but unamusing books will be neglected. Voyages and travels are very well adapted to the capacities of youth. And such Romances and novels as are not injurious to

[Page] 61 us are vicious may be relinquished. And innumerable cautions precepts, and admonitions should be given by parents, and enforced by their example and authority. The first object which should claim the attention of youth, at an early age, is reading. The greater part of the time till they are twelve or fourteen years of age, when they are incapable of other business, they are the best qualified for learning to read. Whatever their business in life may be, four or five years between the age of seven and fourteen, spent at school will be highly beneficial; and if possible, every one should enjoy the privilege. Reading is one of the most innocent and useful amusements of a considerable part of the community. In all conditions and at all times, it is the best source of pleasure and consolation. It conduces also as much to virtue and improvement as to diversion.

[Page] 59 always accompanied with pain and misery in the end. It is therefore incumbent upon him to check this natural propensity to evil, to conform himself, in his disposition and practice, to rectitude, in all respects; an to use every possible mean to exalt his nature from its natural depravity, to the utmost attainable degree of excellence and perfection. But, when he has done the best he was able, he will find himself very defective. Perfection cannot be attained; and when he would do good, evil will be present with him. He must therefore be humble in the midst of all his grandeur, and learn to pity those who, thro’ infirmity or misconduct, have been involved in wretchedness and misery. He must show that indulgence to others, which his own infirmities required from them.

[Page] 84 depending on him for a maintenance, but destitute of every mean of support. He perceived the distressing situation of his family, and the regret and horror he felt for his misconduct, which was the cause of his misery, were so distracting as almost to deprive him of his reason. Being determined to relinquish gaming forever, he pursued his trade for some time in hopes of reestablishing his fortune; but he found it difficult to pursue his business with pleasure or attention. A long habit of indolence and intemperance had much injured his constitution; and his stock was too small to admit of great profits in trade. After some time, finding his success in back too small to maintain his family in its former magnificence, and his love of gaming being not extinguished, he resolved, in despair to try once more his success at it, in hopes of regaining what he had lost. And having lost all principles ofjustice as well as health and fortune, he determined to take every possible advantage of his companions when there was

[Page] 82 Aleator was the son of a wealthy merchant of good character and reputation. He had received a good education, and was instructed in the principle duties of a virtuous life. His father taught him the necessary duties and qualifications of a mercantile profession, which he intended to pursue, and was always designed. At the age of nineteen he was set up in business with a good capital, and everything seemed to promise success. But a practice, which has ruined thousands of families, to which he was much inclined in his youth, began now to interrupt his tranquility, and to destroy the happenings of his family. He practiced gaming at first as an amusement, but it soon began to be a considerable part of his business, and proved at last to be the cause of his ruin. He had the misfortune to live in a neighborhood much inclined to gaming as well as himself, and where cards and dine claimed the attention of every night. Among such company it may reasonably be supposed, that his mercantile

[Page] 83 concerns were attended to with reluctance, and frequently relinquished to give place for recreations better adapted to his inclination. Home was soon rendered intolerable, when the tedious hours were not occupied with cards and drinking; for his trade afforded him no amusement, and was pursued only when necessity or want compelled him to it. By thus spending his time and money in continued indolence, dissipation and intemperance, his health was impaired, his morals corrupted, and his fortune nearly exhausted. After passing the greater part of the night without sleep, and in excessive drinking, he was unfit for burying whatever inclination he might have for it. But he had as little inclination as ability; and in thus neglecting a trade which requires great care and unremitting diligence, it was reduced to the lowest ebb. What remained of his fortune was soon exhausted by gaming and dissipation; and he was reduced to the condition of having a wife and three children
