REES, PATERNOSTER- ROW; DARTON AND HARVEY, GRACECHURCH-STREET; AND Containing corrections of the false Orthography, arranged under the Rules. RULE 1. Gram. p. 23. 4th edit. IT is no great merit to spell properly; but a great defect to do it incorrectly. Jacob worshipped his Creator, leaning on the top of his staff. We may place too little as well as too much firefs upon dreams. Our manners should be neither gross, nor excèsfivély refined. RULE II. A car fignifies a chariot of war, or a small carriage of burden. In the names of drugs and plants, the mistake in a word may endanger life. Nor undelightful is the ceaseless hum To him who mufes through the woods at noon. The fin of a fish is the limb, by which he balances his body, and moves in the water. Many a trap is laid to enfnare the feet of youth. Many thousand families are fupported by the fimple bufinefs of making mats. RULE III. WE fhould fubject our fancies to the government of reafon. If thou art feeking for the living amongst the dead, thou wearieft thyself in vain. If we have denied ourselves of finful pleasures, we fhall be great gainers in the end. We shall not be the happier for poffeffing talents and affluence, unlefs we make a right use of them. The truly good mind is not difmayed by poverty, afflictions, or death. RULE IV. Ir is a great bleffing to have a found mind, uninfluenced by fanciful humours. Common calamities, and common bleffings, fall beavily upon the envious. |
