When that ruinous fashion prevailed in your age there were many resources for the class of people who were thus thrown out of their natural and proper place in the social system. Your fleets and armies at that time required as many hands as could be supplied; and women and children were consumed with proportionate rapidity by your manufactures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
