I am far from going thefe Lengths : becaufe fuch Doctrines, if they could be proved* might produce Neglect and Careleflhefs in the World, to the great Prejudice of human Affairs* It is juft and proper to abide even by certain Weaknefies, which tend to fupport Society, and promote Felicity. Careful Obfervers, who fuffer not themfelves to be dazzled with Appearances, reft affured that our chief Duty to our Children, is to give them a fuitable and good Education, and that the leaving them poflefle...d of great Wealth, may turn more to their Prejudice than Advantage. A moderate Fortune, left to Children, excites their Induftry, tends to improve their Underftandings, and in fome meafure obliges them to become ufe* ful Members of Society. Experience {hews, that the providing for a Wife and Children, is ufually no more than a Pretence for Avarice. If it was a true Reafon, Men would fet certain Bounds to themfelves 3 and only acquire fuch an Eftate, as might fupport the proper Expence of their Heirs : whereas, in Fact, the Defire of getting is unlimited ; and he who poflTefles an hundred thoufand Pounds, is as anxious to acquire more, as he who is worth but a Thoufand.
