Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Thoughts on the True Mode of Improving the Condition of Man
Apart from wealth, station, and other incidental considera tions, which cannot be embraced in the present discussion, individual prosperity, when as perfect as it can be made, con sists in a capacity for the highest degree of personal efficien cy and rational enjoyment. In plainer terms, it is a fitness in man to be as happy in himself, and as useful to others, as the laws of his being admit. And that fitness is the result of a fair developement and sound condition of all the various organs of the system; of that which constitutes man's great est good; a sound mind in a sound body. And to a certain extent these are inseparable. Let the corporeal condition be as here set forth, and the intellectual will correspond with it as certainly, as, in any other case, the effect harmonizes with the cause.
