Note 3 — ON DISSIPATION.

Nothing can be more admirable than the manner in which this allegory is conducted; and the whole work, not to mention its images, machinery, and other poetical beauties, is written in the very fineſt ſtrain of morality. In this latter reſpect it is evidently ſuperior to the works of the ancients, the moral of which is frequently tainted by the groſſneſs of their mythology. Something of the purity of the Chriſtian religion may be diſcovered even in Fenelon's heathens, and they catch a tincture of piety in paſſing through the hands of that amiable prelate.
