Cobbett must have meant his advice in all good faith, but it reads today extremely pompously, even though Cobbett's own unvarnished common sense approach to life, remarkable for its time, still shines through. Worth a look as a piece of interesting English history, if nothing else, and as a point of entry to a mindset long vanished. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
It is the duty and ought to be the pleasure of age and experience to warn and instruct youth and to come to the aid of inexperience. When sailors have discovered rocks or breakers and have had the good luck to escape with life from amidst them they unless they be pirates or barbarians as well as sailors point out the spots for the placing of buoys and of lights in order that others may not be exposed to the danger which they have so narrowly escaped.
