The Man Of The World Summary
| Pleasure is in truth subservient to virtue. When the first is pursued without those restraints which the last would impose, every infringement we make on them lessens the enjoyment we mean to attain; and nature is thus wise in our construction, that, when we would be blessed beyond the pale of reason, we are blessed imperfectly. It is not by the roar of riot, or the shout of the bacchanal, that we are to measure the degree of pleasure which he feels; the grossness of the sense he gratifies is equally insusceptible of the enjoyment, as it is deaf to the voice of reason; and, obdurated by the repetition of debauch, is incapable of that delight which the finer sensations produce, which thrills in the bosom of delicacy and virtue. |

| A sentimental, stimulating, and poignant story penned with artistic aptitude. Through a morally lax protagonist the story propounds the lesson that ôHappiness is in virtueö. MackenzieÆs unique style of characterization makes this work remarkable. Spellbinding! |
