The following remarks on the neceffity of indulfry and 
I N E 
application in young perfons, (which occur in Brifted’s 
Society of Friends examined,) are not only juft, but can¬ 
not be too often enforced ; fince fuch habits are eflential 
to the improvement, virtue, and comfort, of the indivi¬ 
dual. “The pupil fhould be early taught that indufry is 
the foundation of all power, both national and indivi¬ 
dual ; that the weight of mighty empires refts entirely 
upon the fhoulders of productive labour. But, in order 
to bring it more home to his own bufinefs and bofom, let 
it be earneftly inculcated on his mind, that no enjoyment 
or advantage on earth can be obtained without long-con¬ 
tinued and fteadily-direfted previous exertion. This 
truth is the more neceffary to be enforced, becaufe, un¬ 
fortunately for the interefts of humanity, it is a too-gene¬ 
rally-received opinion, that it is only incumbent on com¬ 
paratively flow and weak minds to labour and toil, and 
that men of quick and brilliant talents can perform what- 
foever they lift by mere fits and ftarts of exertion, with¬ 
out having recourfe to patient induftry. But it is now 
full time that fuch a dangerous miftake fhould be fwept 
away, and obliterated from the tablets of recorded error, 
and that men fhould be taught to know', that, without 
undivided and vigorous application, nothing is great, no¬ 
thing is ltrong ; that men of genius have no other way of 
acquiring knowledge than by attention and obfervation ; 
and that, without labour and diligence, without direct¬ 
ing all the efforts and all the exertions of intelleft: to one 
great point, the brighteft abilities fpend their fires to no 
purpofe, and the moft exalted underftandings fliine only 
as momentary meteors, whofe feeble and divergefeent 
rays filed a faint and a fleeting gleam, and are then for 
ever (hrouded in the thickeft night, and involved in the 
moft impenetrable darknefs.” -

INEA'DA, a town of European Turkey, in Romania:

INE'BRIANTS, f. Such things as affect the nerves in 
a particular and agreeable manner, and through them al¬ 
ter and difturb the functions of the mind. They are pro¬ 
perly divided into natural and artificial; the former chief¬ 
ly in ufe among the oriental and other nations, the latter 
principally throughout Europe. Of natural inebriants the 
,moft common is opium; it is employed among the eaft- 
ern nations, very generally, to procure, not fleep, but fe- 
renity and cheerfulnefs; and its ufe, in this refpeft, may 
be traced to the earlieft ages, for it was probably the ne¬ 
penthe of Homer. Tea is equally general in the well: and 
in its native country China ; but it is mild in its effedts, 
and, if not drunk unufually ftrong, or in too copious 
draughts, it is notftnjurious. There is fiome reafon to 
fufpeft, that the additions which give it the flavour are 
moil: hurtful; for the beft teas produce the word effefts. 
The bangue of the eaft, prepared from the leaves of the 
canabis indica, and not from thofe of the hibifeus abel- 
mofehus, as has been aflerted, is in general ufe in Ina 
dia, as an inebriant; but the betle, is rather a ftimu- 
lant than a narcotic. The 'Affyrian rue, Peganum har- 
mala of Linnaeus, was formerly ufed, as Bellonius in¬ 
forms us, for this purpofe ; but its very offenfive and dif- 
agreeable fmell prevents it from being any longer a lux¬ 
ury. The feeds of different fpecies of datura have been 
alio ufed to inebriate, as well as the roots of the black 
henbane, and the Hyofcyamus phyfaloides. The Dale- 
carlians employ the leaves of the millefolium to increafe 
the intoxicating power of the beer ; and the porter-brew¬ 
ers of this country are faid to ufe the Canabis indicus and 
the Coculus indicus; but this has lately been denied on 
oath in the King’s Bench. Tobacco ; the darnel; the 
clary; the vanilloes; the hemlock; the fpawn of the bar¬ 
bel ; and the agaricus mufearius ; have been all employed 
for this purpofe. The artificial inebriants, namely fer¬ 
mented liquors and fpirits, are fufficiently known.
