Synopsis
Excerpt from Amusements in Retirement: Or, the Influence of Science, Literature, and the Liberal Arts, on the Manners and Happiness of Private Life
The following pages were written by the Author of The Philosophy of Na ture; or the Influence of Scenery on the Mind and Heart. - This observation is made, for the purpose of inducing the reader to compare the one work with the other: the former having been written during a period of high mental enjoy ment; while the present operated, as a refuge and a sanctuary, during a period of great and complicated difficulty. Most works take a tincture from the circumstances,under which th ey are com posed; and as it is not often, that the reader, or the critlc, has an opportunity of comparing a writer so immediately bwith himself, under circumstances involv ing a contrast of so marked a character, the Editor hesitates not to express a hope, that, if any merit belong to either, the two works may constantly be found in the society of each other.
