A GEOGRAPHICAL'DISCIfFTION
• of < j^:
BACHELOR'S ISLAND.
THIS Aland is fituared on the burn
ing fandtof the defers of folly, where
even the lavage inhabitant of the so
rest seldom venture to ttti&rt it
bounded on the east by the regions of
afFr&ation, vanity, and deceit 4 on the
north, by the territories of fear, and
cowardice ; on the lire by agog
ing zone of temorfe, disease & death §
and on the weft by the dead lake cf
obtivionx ,^ easily to bB
foppofed, that the air of thia iflwd ii
sultry, enervating and pefliferoui; ex
posed to perpetual fcene&of ftorffit,
hurricane, and cempefti, andtocli
mate, like the minds of its inhabitants,
is never fettled for so hour, The
fpriog of B&chelot's '^itd totally <lif^
fers from that of any other,! have
hitherto read of, as tharrhereihe
feafoo of the most pernicious heat, &
in which the generality afrits inhab
itants are poffefled with & kind of
madoefs, most deftroaire to them
selves, the most it:jurious to every civ
ilized counffh and the most fabver
five of unguarded innocence. ' Those
who weather out the spring, and live
to fee the summer, though they lose
Threat degree of their raadneh, yet
in that feafoo, they become artful, hy
pocritical, and treacherous. Their
winter i> truly defpicable.^
Among all nations upon earth you
cannot express your contempt of a
man more poinedly, than by celling
him an Od Bachelor —a thing that
fives only for i rfelf—a thing that has
ro facial harmony in its foul— -a thing
that cares for notody, and whom no
body regards—a thing thac dtelightr
in fens and moraffet, but bates the
generous warmth of the noonday fun.'
Though the Drives of this miserable
iflind make those of |W iflind of
Matrimony the constant object of
their ridicule, yet there have been number
less inftantes of their Dealing from their own
island into that of matrimony, where they
have prevailed ©ri some good natured e@fy
creatures to become their nurses and reftor-,
ers, after their constitutions had been nearly
ruined in jbeir former miserable abodes.—
Although clouds will now and then gather
over the island of Matrimony, yet they serve
to render the remainder of the day more
brilliant andcheerful. —in Bachelor's island,
love is athing much talked of, but wholly'
unknown to them ; and the, are hated and
despised, robbed and plundered by the pbl
the iW^dtverfidn ol the wand of mat +
4fe% tty ate^ o "fidered only as an ih
diversion, though there they are pro
dhaive sometimes of very evil consequences;
in Bachelor's island they are eo&ntly pro
du&ive of the most shocking vices, such as
dronkennefs ^rid debauchery, the total ruin
of fortune arid reputation, and even murder
itfelf is sometimes the consequence. How
many have quitted tin's island, and fled to
that which thtftoe so much despised, inor
der to repair their ruined fortunes by Pek
ing a virtuous and amiable partner ? Bache-;
lor's isle is a mere defart, incapable of pro
ducing Any thing but nettles, thorns and bri-.
r^^^tx^t
young; no groves, which 6 often invite life

in; nor does even the ufetui fawn Sound .
