Suppose then theirprofessions realised, what is the result? Why that you havelaboriously anticipated a case of anomaly which, if it do actuallyoccur, could not possibly cost more trouble to explain at the time ofits occurrence than you are thus premising. This is as if a man shouldsit down to cull all the difficult cases of action which could everoccur to him in his relations of son, father, citizen, neighbour, public functionary, &c. Under the plea that he would thus have gotover the labour of... discussion before the case itself arrived. Supposing that this could be accomplished, what would it effect but tocancel a benevolent arrangement of providence by which thedifficulties of life are distributed with tolerable equalitythroughout its whole course, and obstinately to accumulate them allupon a particular period. Sufficient for the day is its own evil:dispatch your business as it arises, and every day clears itself: butsuffer a few months of unaudited accounts, or of unanswered letters, to accumulate; and a mountain of arrears is before you which yearsseem insufficient to get rid of.
