“Special care should be taken of the health of the inhabitants, which will depend chiefly on the healthiness of the locality and of the quarter to which they are exposed, and secondly on the use of pure water; this latter point is by no means a secondary consideration. For the elements which we use the most and oftenest for the support of the body contribute most to health, and among those are water and air. Wherefore, in all wise states, if there is want of pure water, and the supply is not all equally good, the drinking water ought to be separated from that which is used for other purposes.” IfsWantShouldMeanStatesUseBodyCareUsedPurposeWaterEducationSupportTakenWiseAirSpecialDependsOughtPureElementsDrinkingConsiderationLatterExposedQuartersDrinking WaterLocalityPure Water Author:Aristotle

On this she sits bridling up her head, looking from one to the other, in hopes of being called to and addressed by the name of pretty miss.... But if this should not happen and no one should take any notice of her, she is ready to cry at the neglect. But should there be another miss in the room caressed and taken notice of whilst she is thus overlooked, it will be impossible for her to contain her tears, and blubbering is the word.” IfsShouldLittlesHappensNamesSpeakRoomsEducationTakenImpossibleChildhoodMissingCryTearsTaughtReadyNeglectOverlooked Author:Sarah Fielding
