Quote, "But you hold out no inducement, you offer no relief from listlessness, you provide nothing to amuse his mind, you afford him no means of exercising his body.Unwashed and unshaven, he saunters moodily about, weary and dejected.

In lieu of the wholesome stimulus he might derive from nature, you drive him to the pernicious excitement to be gained from art.He flies to the gin-shop as his only resource; and when, reduced to a worse level than the lowest brute in the scale of creation, he lies wallowing in the kennel, your saintly lawgivers lift up their hands to heaven, and exclaim for a law which shall convert the day intended for rest and cheerfulness, into one of universal gloom, bigotry, and persecution."
