Excerpt from How to Live Long: Or Health Maxims, Physical, Mental and Moral
To live long, is to live well, by eating and drinking abundantly of all the good things of this life in their season, in their freshness, in their perfection; not only of the fruits of the orchard, the vegetables of the garden, and the grains of the field, but of the birds of the air, the fish of the sea, and the cattle upon a thousand hills; by gathering about us the comforts, conveniences, and luxuries of life; by cultivating the higher tastes of our nature; by cherishing the affections and by the promotion of all that innocently enlivens, exhilarates, delights, and enraptures.
How to do these things in such a way as to preserve and promote the highest health and thus double their value, is the object of this book. The aim is to make the lessons short, concise, specific, and to the point, in the fewest possible words, to compel the reading of them and so impress them on the mind by fact and warning and incident and example and anecdote, that they cannot be forgotten in a life-time.
