CHAPTER I.
_Amusements distinguishable into useful and hurtful--the latter
specified and forbidden_.
CHAPTER II.
SECT. I.--_Games of chance forbidden--history of the origin of some of
these_.
SECT. II.--_Forbidden as below the dignity of the intellect of man, and
of his christian character_.
SECT. III.--_As producing an excitement of the passions, unfavourable to
religious impressions--historical anecdotes of this excitement_.
SECT. IV.--_As tending to produce, by the introduction of habits of
gaming, an alteration in the moral character_.
CHAPTER III.
SECT. I.--_Music forbidden--instrumental innocent in itself, but greatly
abused--the use of it almost inseparable from its abuse at the present
day_.
SECT. II.--_Quakers cannot learn instrumental on the usual motives of
the world--nor consider it as a source of moral improvement, or of
solid comfort to the mind--but are fearful that, if indulged in, it
would interfere with the Christian duty of religious retirement_.
SECT III.--_Quakers cannot learn vocal, because, on account of its
articulative powers, it is capable of becoming detrimental to
morals--its tendency to this, as discoverable by an analysis of
different classes of songs_.
SECT IV.
