Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Passions in Their Relations to Health and Diseases: Translated From the French Terrible indeed are the consequences of libertinism to the health of individuals and families. Certain and dreadful is the retribution. Generations yet to come are made the sufferers. But who shall paint the misery, the remorse, the hor ror, of the stricken conscience when it awakes to the enormity of its crimes, from that moral death in which it has stifled its most exquisite sensibilities? Consistent with the highest intellectual requirements of the age, a noble adjunct to the physical and moral culture of youth, must be considered the department of hygienic instruction which shall relate to the proper management of the passions and their subjection to the dominion of the will. If this little work shall furnish any new suggestions to instructors and heads of families on the important subjects upon which it treats, the delicate and somewhat difficult task of its translation will not have been done in vain.
