how errors which seem yenal, at first grow into crime
when ostered by indulgence, and excused the prin-
ciplc of fatality or any other preence by which the
perpetrator seeks alike TO blind himself and others to
prove that to the ungovened passions and obles oil the
many more than the balcfu crimes OF the few, we
owe the miscrics which daren social life; and that the
most brilliant gifts OF the person or worldly fortunes are
many smiling spells which lure to ruin those who are
