- Summary:
- This book focuses on the dangers and consolations of solitude, on its value, acknowledge by the most celebrated nations in every age, but perhaps never completely understood ; on its omnipotent influence, when consumed by care, enfeebled by sickness, and oppressed with the weight and burden of life ; and likewise its cheering power in afflictions too heavy for the heart to bear.
