Excerpt from The Biblical Repertory and Princeton Review: April, 1861The general improvement in clothing is qualified by at least one grave exception. Fashion is the idol to which not a few constitutions are sacrificed in their youngest, tenderest days. It would be difficult to speak in terms of reprobation too severe, of the custom of exposing the bare limbs of young children to the unrelenting cold. It is not necessary, in such a matter, to accumulate facts, or wait for the revelations of experience. The sure ultimate effect, we know a priori, must be to sacrifice or injure the health of large numbers. The fol lowing observations of Mr. Spencer are their own justification.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
