Book excerpt: "To make his point about the corruption he sees among young people, the author...creates the characters of Kate and James, whose shortcomings he describes in a few chapters, in the midst of many sections of commentary. The author disdains at length: novel reading, the idolatry of money, naked arms and necks, lap dogs, intemperance in food and drink, card playing, cosmetics, idleness, and irreligiosity. He uses New Orleans as an example of his despised world of fashion, describing the opera, masked balls, and Creoles at great length."--
