Excerpt from The Orator's Guide, or Rules for Speaking and Composing: From the Best Authorities
But while gaming leaves the mind to languish, it produces its full ef feet on the passions, and on the heart. Here however that effect is delete rious. None of the sweet and amiable sympathies, are at the card-table called into action. No throb of ingenuous and philanthropic feeling, is excited by this detestable expedient for killing time, as it 1s called; and it is rightly so called; for many a murdered hour will witness at the day of judgment, against that fashionable idler, who divides her time between her toilet and the card-table, no less than against the pmfiigate, hackney ed in the ways of sin, and steeped in all the filth and debauchery of gam bling. But it is only amidst the filth and debauchery of gambling, that the full effects of card-playing on the passions and on the heart of man afe seen.
Here that mutual amity, that elsewhere subsists, ceases; paternal affec~ tion ceases; even that community of feeling that piracy excites, and that binds the very banditti together has no room to operate; for at this inhos pitshis board, every man's interest, clashes with every man's interest, and every man's hand is literally against every man.
