be the smallest benefit of such an in
stitution; there being nothing more
apt TO debasc the virtue and good
sense of our gentry of both sexes than
the trifling vanity Of apparel, which
we have learned from France, and
which has had such visible i'll conse-
quences on the genius of that people.
Wiser nations have made it their care
to shut out this folly by severe laws
and penalties, and Its spreading among
us can forbode no good, if there be any
truth in the observation of one of the
ancients, that the direct way to ruin a
man is to dress him up in fine clothes
But we are doomed to be undone.
Neither the plain reason of the thing,
nor the experience of past ages, nor
the examples we have before our eyes,
can restrain us from initiating, not TO
say surprising, the most corrupt and
ruined people in those very points OF
luxury that ruined them. Our gam
ing, our operas, our masquerades, are,
in spite Of our debts and poverty, be
come the wonder Of our neighbors
If there be any man so void of all
thought and common-senso, as not to
see where this must end let him but
compare what Venice was at the
league of Cambray, with what it is at
present, and he will be convinced how
truly those fashionable pastimes are
calculated to depress and ruin nation.
II is not to be believed, what innu-
ence public diversions have on the
spirit and manners Of a people. The
Greeks wisely saw this, and made
very serious affair of their public
sports For the same reason, il will,
perhaps, seem worthy the care of our
legislature to regulate the public di.
versions, by an absolute prohibition of
those which have direct tendency TO
corrupt our morals, as well as by
reformation ofthe drama; which, when
rightly managed, is such noble en-
tertainment, and gave those fine les
sons of morality and good sense to the
Athenians of old, and to our British
gentry above a century ago; hut for
these last ninety years, hath entertain
ed us, for the most part, with such
wretched things as spoil, instead
of improving, the taste dnd man
ners of the audience. Those who are
attentive to such propositions only as
may fill their pockets, will probably
slight these things as trifes below the
care of the Legislature. But am sure
all honest, thinking men must lament
to see their country run headlong INTO
all those luxurious follies, which, il is
evident, have been fatal TO other ma
tions, and will undoubtedly prove fatal
