Synopsis
Excerpt from The Mirror of Literature, Amusement, and Instruction, 1844, Vol. 5: Containing Original Papers, Historical Narratives, Biographical Memoirs, Manners and Customs, Topographical Descriptions, Sketches and Tales, Anecdotes
While its original character is essentially unimpaired, it cannot have escaped observation that in some respects important changes have lately been made, which it is confidently hoped will be recognised as improvements. More original matter is supplied than it ever con tained before, and translations made specially for these pages, will be found very different from the word for word readings which app ear elsewhere, which never can convey the true spirit and meaning of author of merit. To catch the sense, not merely to transcribe the expression, is the true art of translating; and the admiration expressed for the tales which have been furnished from the French and German, within the last half year, sufficiently proves that in this, the opinion of the Conductors of the mirror is shared by its readers.

The text is a practical guide that explores the psychological and physiological aspects of self-control. The author contends that a commitment to self-control can increase vigilance, focus, and attentiveness, leading to more robust decision-making and a greater capacity for self-regulation.
