Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Letter and Social Aims
This hint, however conveyed, upsets our politics, trade, customs, marriages, nay, the common-sense Side of religion and literature, which are all founded on low nature, - ou the clearest and most economical mode of administering the material world, considered as final. The admission, never so covertly, that this is a make shift, sets the dullest brain in ferment; - our little sir, from his first tottering steps, as soon as he can crow, - does not like to be practised upon, suspects that some one is doing him, - and, at this alarm, every thing is compromised; -gunpowder is laid under every man's breakfast-table.
