Abstract

Young reader, would you know whether the tendency of a book is good or evil, examine in what state of mind you lay it down. Has it attemptel to abate your admiration and reverence for what is great and good, and to diminish in you the love of your country and your fellow creatures? Has it addressed itself to your pride, your vanity, your selfishness, or any of your evil propensities? Has it defiled the imagination with what is loathesome, and shocked the heart with what is monstrous? Has it disturbed the sense of right and wrong which the Creator has emplanted in the human soul? — Robert Southey 1 From the Lafargue Clinic, St. Philips Parish House, New York City.
