The Ladies' Book of Etiquette, and Manual of Politeness

"Of
this
let
the
young
be
assured;
there
are
few
situations
in
life,
in
which
a
man,
young,
and
in
health,
cannot
meliorate
his
circumstances,
if
he
possess
energy
and
if
he
be
stimulated
by
a
true
affection.
The
clergyman,
with
humble
stipend,
often
hopeless
from
want
of
interest,
has
leisure--he
has
had
education.
He
may,
if
he
desires
to
assist
himself,
have
recourse
to
literary
labor,
or
to
tuition.
If
he
make
not
such
exertion,
during
the
course
of
an
engagement,
what
hope
can
there
be
of
him
in
future
life?
"The
young
lawyer,
however
tedious
his
advancement,
however
few
his
opportunities,
may
also
distinguish
himself
in
a
literary
career.
Innumerable
are
the
subjects
open
to
one
of
such
a
profession.
How
few
avail
themselves
of
the
chance!
Upon
this
rely,
the
man
truly
in
love
will
make
the
effort.
To
the
military
man,
though
perhaps
he
may
be
less
qualified,
the
same
course
is
open,
in
a
degree.
Some
of
our
best
travels,
some
of
our
most
amusing
literary
productions,
have
been
the
compositions
of
military
men.
And
the
advantage
of
this
mode
of
aiding
a
small
fortune
is,
that
a
man
not
only
does
not
lower,
but
he
raises
his
position
by
it,
if
his
works
are
moral,
written
in
a
gentlemanly
spirit,
and
affording
information.
However
deep
the
attachment,
however
agreeable
the
object,
if
a
man
be
indisposed
to
help
himself
to
independence
and
competence,
I
should
counsel
no
woman
to
continue
an
engagement
formed
in
the
expectation
of
'times
mending.'
When
I
advocate
the
indulgence
of
attachment,
it
is
to
worthy,
not
to
unworthy,
objects.
