An Occasional Letter, wrote to a young Officer, by his
friend.
. . . [Letter of advice, particularly on learning from other
officers and avoiding arguments and duels]
If the difference grow so high, that nothing less than a
duel can reconcile the feud in point of honour, make them
sensible what a shame it is for men of true merit, to
receive the Laws of Honour, from faint effeminates, the
Hectors and Huffs of the town, who possess none themselves
but what they are indebted for their schools of honour and
morality, the Play-Houses;
. . . [Other advice]
