It contrasts self-made men with those who rely on old age funds, urging labor, thrift, and personal discipline to gain respect and manhood, while warning against revenge and idle living.
Fragmentary prose warns that intemperance weakens mind and body, dimming perception and dampening judgment. It contrasts the corrupting lure of sensual pursuits with the value of nature, virtue, and elevated taste, urging moderation and reverence for art and moral formation.
A long imaginary essay arguing that true manhood lies in dignity and independence of character, living by right and duty, undaunted by world opinions.
