I was lately perusing an author*, whose theory * Darwin's Zoonomia. Eratomania. had more novelty, and wore an air of greater paradox than I have hitherto met with. He is a physician who makes a threefold classification of diseases. The two first classes are fashioned on a new, but on no fantasti- cal model. If there be any truth in the customary distinctions, these are suf- ficiently within the province of the medical art. Many of the articles that constitute the third class have hitherto been assigned to the mo- ralist. This writer, however, very gravely arranges them in his cata- logue, annexes a technical descrip- tion, and prescribes the “modus medendi.” http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-04352.xml Tue, 21 Apr 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-04357.xml TO ascertain the tendency of plays is by no means difficult. There is no more powerful mode of winning the attention, and swaying the pas- sions of mankind. Mental power is quite a different consideration from the moral application of that power. Genius affords no security from error. The writers of plays have been gene- rally necessitous and profligate. They have therefore written under the in- fluence of wrong conceptions of duty and happiness; and, in order to effect their purpose, which was gain, have deemed themselves obliged to hu- mour the caprices and pamper the vicious appetites, of those who fre- quent these spectacles. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-04357.xml Tue, 21 Apr 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-04360.xml WHETHER most good, or most evil flows from theatrical exhi- bitions? appears to be a question a correspondent wishes to have decided. This question has given rise to vari- ous thoughts, on the subject; should they lead to the wished-for decision they are at T. Markright's service. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-04360.xml Tue, 21 Apr 1970 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-04364.xml THE series of original letters, enclo- sed, came by chance into my possession. I send them to you with permission to publish them, though without the con- currence of the writers. Their consent I have reason to believe would be given if it were asked; but the distance of their present abode, rendering that impossible, we must dispense with it. The only liberty I have taken is to substitute, in some cases, fictitious for real names. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1798-04364.xml Tue, 21 Apr 1970 12:00:00 GMT
