Charity and frugality urged to aid public works
A late 18th century essay argues that private benevolence powers public charities more than state funds. It urges readers to cut trivial expenses, redirect cards and table luxuries to charity, and shows vivid examples of personal sacrifice and empathy toward the afflicted. It highlights a moral duty to aid the needy and recalls local acts of generosity amid social duty.
