The Manners Of The Age Or The Moral Satyrist PDF Download

Excerpt from Moral Sketches of Prevailing Opinions and Manners, Foreign and Domestic: With Reflections on Prayer It may, however, justly said, that the writer might have found more appropriate objects of censure amongst the worldly and the irreligious, than in the more respectable classes whom she has taken the liberty to make the subject of animadversion. But the truth is. The thoughtless and the profligate have been so successively and so perseveringly attached by far more powerful pens; have been so long assailed by the monitory maxims of the moralist, pelted by the missile weapons of the satirist. And chastised by the grave rebuke of the divine, that, with due deference, she turns over the hitherto incorrigible to stronger and more efficient hands; while she ventures to address her observations to other quarters, where there will be more hape of forgive ness. And less despair of success. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
