There is only one vice, which may be found in life with as strong features, and as high a colouring as needs be employed by any satirist or comic poet; and that is avarice. Every day we meet with men of immense fortunes, without heirs, and on the very brink of the grave, who refuse themselves the most common necessaries of life, and go on heaping possessions on possessions, under all the real pressures of the severest poverty.
