Description
The fear of death, although inculcated by many writers, ought to be regulated by principles which will banish all superstitious dread, all slavish fear of dying; and though it is well contrived that we should have frequent mementos of the shortness and uncertainty of time, we ought to be sensible that to him who is employed in virtuous industry, who shares moderately of the harmless amusements of society, life will not be too short for his duty.
From: Lady's Magazine; or ENTERTAINING COMPANION for the FAIR SEX, Appropriated solely to their USE and AMUSEMENT. January, 1791.
In yer face, writers! (even if I honestly have no idea what any of it means)
