Thus I live in the world rather as a spectator of mankind than as one of the species, by which means I have made myself a speculative statesman, soldier, merchant, and artisan without ever meddling with any practical part in life. I am very well versed in the theory of a husband, or a father, and can discern the errors in economy, business, and diversions of others, better than those engaged in them; as standers-by discover blots, which are apt to escape those who are in the game.
Which one of the following is a suitable heading for the above?
