About this book
Solitude is the title of this work by Johann Georg Zimmermann. The contents list names chapters, among others, Influence of solitude upon the mind, Influence of solitude upon the heart and Disadvantages of solitude. The preface says that weak and delicate minds may, perhaps, be alarmed by the title of this work, and that the word solitude may possibly engender melancholy ideas.
The text says the love of solitude, when cultivated in the morn of life, elevates the mind to a noble independence, but that the mind must not be impelled to it by melancholy and discontent. The text says solitude sometimes renders the mind in a slight degree arrogant and conceited, but that these effects are easily removed by a judicious intercourse with mankind. The text says it is necessary to the perfection of which our present state is capable that the mind and body should both be kept in action.
