Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Fund Raising for the Italian Gentleman: Or, a Magazine Filling on the Scheme of Frugality; What Damage May Arise From an Explosion Is Calculated From the Accurate Observations of the Famous Dr. Atterbury The Letter-Writer who recommends frugality, it is acknowledged, too justly complains of the luxury and prodigality, the follies, vices and corruptions of the present times. But so say they are peculiar, may be owing to inattention; since the reign of Ch. the 2d, (a prince whom with his grandfather had the honour to serve with his estate,) was a season not less vitious and debauched. - The Author has several anecdotes; which shall be noted in their proper place. We may begin with his curious description of Whigs and Tories. "The Whigs, are busy insidious set of men, industrious enough in thinking and contriving how to carry their schemes into execution, and will not boggle at the means of compassing their ends" - and yet, "the Whigs are like bold empiricks and quack-docters, they always promise to do wonderful cures to the body politic, but, when employed, have ever failed in their performance.
