This is the true sense of the maxim--Live and let live. That, however, is a task which is difficult in proportion as it is right; and he is a happy man who can once for all avoid having to do with a great many of his fellow creatures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
