"The God of Love, who stood to hear him, (The God of Love was always near him), Pleased and tickled with the sound, Sneezed aloud; and all around, The little loves, that waited by, Bowed, and blest the augury." The lady protests in her turn: --"She spoke; the God of Love aloud Sneezed again; and all the crowd Of little Loves, that waited by, Bowed, and blest the augury. This good omen, thus from heaven, Like a happy signal given--" confirmed their mutual choice, and united the fair couple for life. No doubt the platonic swain, to whom we have just alluded, bore this poem in mind, and blest his shrine's propitious breathing. The inveteracy of habit is more ludicrously, yet more innocently evinced by snuff takers, than by any other slaves to acquired tastes, and second natures. Let not the following traits be deemed exaggerations--they are truths. An outside traveller, thrown from the coach top, upon a road-side bank, was instantly beset by queries as to whether or no he was much hurt. He did not look so--yet, gazing into the liquid mud before him, he groaned, --; "Yes, in the tenderest part." "Where, Sir?" "My nose--'tis running down the kennel." "Poor man, he 's light headed," cried an old dame. "Not yet, but soon shall be," he sighed, picking up his empty Lawrence kirk, and pointing to the gutter, into which its treasures were upset. What were all his bones to one bereaved piece of cartilage? You take my nose when you do take the snuff that keeps my nose. The good woman understood his case, and offered him a screw of Scotch, for which he forced on her half a crown. "Lord love ye, Sir," said she, " why it's not worth a penny." "Not my life! good mother? I tell you, you have saved my very soul." And he went on his way rejoicing. In the days...

Download or read book Folk Devils and Moral Panics written by Stanley Cohen and published by Taylor & Francis US. This book was released on 2011 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Richly documented and convincingly presented' -- New Society Mods and Rockers, skinheads, video nasties, designer drugs, bogus asylum seeks and hoodies. Every era has its own moral panics. It was Stanley Cohen's classic account, first published in the early 1970s and regularly revised, that brought the term 'moral panic' into widespread discussion. It is an outstanding investigation of the way in which the media and often those in a position of political power define a condition, or group, as a threat to societal values and interests. Fanned by screaming media headlines, Cohen brilliantly demonstrates how this leads to such groups being marginalised and vilified in the popular imagination, inhibiting rational debate about solutions to the social problems such groups represent. Furthermore, he argues that moral panics go even further by identifying the very fault lines of power in society. Full of sharp insight and analysis, Folk Devils and Moral Panics is essential reading for anyone wanting to understand this powerful and enduring phenomenon. Professor Stanley Cohen is Emeritus Professor of Sociology at the London School of Economics. He received the Sellin-Glueck Award of the American Society of Criminology (1985) and is on the Board of the International Council on Human Rights. He is a member of the British Academy.
