Excerpt from Solitude or the Effects of Occasional Retirement on the Mind, the Heart, General Society, in Exile, in Old Age, and on the Bed of Death, in Which the Question Is Considered Whether It Is Easier to Live Virtuously in Society or in Solitude; Tr, From Weak and delicate minds may perhaps be alarmed by the title of this work. The word "Solitude" may possibly engender melancholy ideas. But they have only to read a few pages to be undeceived. The author is not one of those extravagant misanthropists, who expect that men, formed by nature for the enjoyments of society, and impelled continually towards it by a multitude of powerful and invincible propensities, should seek refuge in forests and inhabit the dreary cave or lonely cell: he is a friend to the species, a rational philosopher, and a virtuous citizen, who, encouraged by the esteem of his sovereign, endeavours to enlighten the minds of his fellow-creatures upon a subject of infinite importance to them, the attainment of true felicity. No writer appears more completely convinced than M. Zimmerman, that man is born for society, or feels its duties with more refined sensibility. It is the nature of human society and its correspondent duties which he here undertakes to examine. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
