What is the antidote to a culture’s being drained by laughter? Picture Quote #1

All amusements to which virtuous women are not admitted, are, rely upon it, deleterious in their nature Picture Quote #1

The number of such as live without the ardour of inquiry is very small, though many content themselves with cheap amusements, and waste their lives in researches of no importance Picture Quote #1
