A soldier was the only reputable pro
fsssion IN Sparta. . mechanic ~ husband
man w2s looked upan xiih eantemPi. A
soldier wss never 10 as az turn his back
upon his enemies. however superior in
number; or 10 quit his past or TO deliver
up his arms; in n word. either to conquer
or die. A Spartan mother hearing that
her son vas killed in battle lighting for
his country, answered coldly:
81 brought him into the world for no
other purpose"
After forty years. service, a man was by
law no longer required to go into the field
and consequently, if the military age was
thirty years (for this was the period, it
was supposed, at which they entered into
the service of their country the Spartans,
were not held invalids until they were
seventy. A pretty period of life for asol-
der to retire from the arduous career of
a warrior, and to receive his half pay!
Drunkenness was considered infamous
among them, and punished; and that
young men might conceive the greatest
adherence of this species of debauchery,
the slaves we're compelled to drink to ex-
cess, that the beastliness of the vice might
appear. When they retired from the
public meals they were not allowed any
torches or lights, because it was expected
that men who were perfectly sober should
be able to find their way in the dark; be-
SLUG, ILLS pToCtiCc gave tucM q AoSAAsy
for marching without light, quality very
useful to them in time of war.
As to dress, there was no distinction be-
tween the rich and the poor. Their gar
mcnts were made for use and not for
show; they were taught betimes to dis
tinguish themselves by their virtues,
rather than by their robes. Boys were
always used to 60 without shoes nor were
they permitted to cut or trim their hair.
Bankers were not allowed, and interest
was also forbidden in the Spartan COM
monwealth.
A writer has observed with respect to
Lycurgus, "rhat this legislator ordained
that the magistrates should not be ap.
pointed by lot, but elected by suffrages.
He deprived riches of their Influence and
respect annexed to them, and Invested
even love Of jealousy" 1t has likewise
been observed, ''That the main design of
Lycurgus, in the establishment of his laws,
and especially of that which. prohibited
the use of gold and silver, was to curb
and restrain the ambition OF his citizens,
to disable them from Masking conquests,
and in manner to force them to contine
themselves within the narrow bounds OF
their own country"
