Excerpt from Smoking: When Injurious, When Innocuous, When Beneficial, With a Compendium of the Temperaments, Shewing How They Are Influenced by the Use of Tobacco
Man exists by bread he lives with tobacco. Bread is the staff; tobacco the charm of life - bread represents necessity; tobacco, enjoyment. The one, toil; the other, relaxation: the former, the straight line the latter, the curve of beauty - the wave of grace - the ellipse - the circle.
In the fifteenth century, Europe became acquainted with the art of printing, and with tobacco. During the years which have since enlightened the darkness of prior ages, literature and tobacco have pre served so close an affinity, that they may not now be sundered. Raleigh, Milton, Dryden, Newton, Prior, Steel, Addison, Swift, Congreve, Bolingbroke, Pope, Johnson, Byron, Burns, Scott, Campbell, Moore, Thackeray, and Dickens, spoke, wrote, or sung, under inspiration from the weed of strange power. Tobacco plays, however, a higher role than that of prompting merely. It seems to have been specially entrusted to the use of man, for the pur pose of long preserving our most giant minds, by virtue of its power to lull them into an occasional and calm repose. But for tobacco, their geninwould often be that only of the meteor's flash; 3. Too incessant mental strain, without relief, being apt to hurl reason from its throne, and shroud it in a night of chaos.
