Enquire within upon everything
·
Robert Kemp Philp
625
All
this
is
very
excellent
and
desirable;
but,
unfortunately
for
mankind,
unattainable.
1765.
More
than
Man.
Man
must
be
something
more
than
Man
to
be
able
to
connect
the
different
links
of
this
harmonious
chain--to
consolidate
this
summum
bonum
of
earthly
felicity
into
one
uninterrupted
whole;
for,
independent
of
all
regularity
or
irregularity
of
diet,
passions,
and
other
sublunary
circumstances,
contingencies,
and
connections,
relative
or
absolute,
thousands
are
visited
by
diseases
and
precipitated
into
the
grave,
independent
of
accident,
to
whom
no
particular
vice
could
attach,
and
with
whom
the
appetite
never
overstepped
the
boundaries
of
temperance.
Do
we
not
hear
almost
daily
of
instances
of
men
living
near
to
and
even
upwards
of
a
century?
We
cannot
account
for
this
either;
because
of
such
men
we
know
but
few
who
have
lived
otherwise
than
the
world
around
them;
and
we
have
known
many
who
have
lived
in
habitual
intemperance
for
forty
or
fifty
years,
without
interruption
and
with
little
apparent
inconvenience.
1766.
No
Link
to
Background.
The
assertion
has
been
made
by
those
who
have
attained
a
great
age
(Parr,
and
Henry
Jenkins,
for
instance),
that
they
adopted
no
particular
arts
for
the
preservation
of
their
health;
consequently,
it
might
be
inferred
that
the
duration
of
life
has
no
dependence
on
manners
or
customs,
or
the
qualities
of
particular
food.
This,
however,
is
an
error
of
no
common
magnitude.
1767.
Moderation.
Peasants,
labourers,
and
other
hard-working
people,
more
especially
those
whose
occupations
require
them
to
be
much
in
the
open
air,
may
be
considered
as
following
a
regulated
system
of
moderation;
and
hence
the
higher
degree
of
health
which
prevails
among
them
and
their
families.
They
also
observe
rules;
and
those
which
it
is
said
were
recommended
by
Old
Parr
are
remarkable
for
good
sense;
namely,
