Note 19 — THE ART OF MANAGING COACHMEN.

“To what an unfortunate change the present fashions are conforming Mankind! The Country-houses of our Nobility and Gentry are empty in July. Thus the Spring months, the season of Joy throughout creation, pass unobserved by the affluent and gay. The souls of human beings, in this Age of Art, would seem to wish the Sun to be darkened; they find no pleasure but in the light of a Lamp.—I feel for the rising generation, when I consider the effects of these overgrown follies upon Inexperienced minds.”—Dr. Trotter on the Nervous Temperament, 8vo. p. 245. 1807.
