Excerpt from Brief Remarker on the Ways of Man: Or Compendious Dissertations Respecting Social and Domestic Relations and Concerns, and the Various Economy of Life
Nothing very strange is it, therefore, that the minds of a great many are unsettled, notional, and fraught with extrava gant expectations. And this is the less to be wondered at, as it is customary for our youth to step into manhood earlier than in former ages, or perhaps than in any country else. Gommene ing men at an immature period, and under such powerful im pulses to wild extravagances of imagination, it would be mar vellous indeed if they were not, many of them, averse to any sober. Rational, and steady plan of life.
