     Besides, the more luxury a child has, the more he will require—wants beget wants; until, at length, he will become a poor, wretched, artificial imbecile, fit only to be caded and cottoned up in warm enervating rooms; but totally unfit to be buffeted about—as is good for him—in this rough world of ours.]
