Dissipations...

. Mrs. Harrington, in a treatise on proper womanly amusements deplored “the amazing increase of Dissipations of almost every kind, at present seems to fascinate our minds, and occasion an almost total neglect of those Refinements so necessary to real happiness of human beings.” quote from- Silhouettist Bios, Peggy McClard Antiques, Americana & Folk Art. Referencing Sarah Harrington, (c 18th century)
