The Parmer's Dagunter Folly and Vision
A fragmented meditation on innocence and virtue frames a scene of a farmer's daughter praised for purity and charm, contrasted with reflections on charity, self-restraint, and moral character. Interwoven are anecdotes and excerpts about public life, temptation, and the duty of action, with mentions of China relief efforts, Washington memories, and social conduct.
