The Right Choice: Or The Difference Between Worldly Diversions And Rational Recreations (1857)

The Right Choice: Or The Difference Between Worldly Diversions And Rational Recreations is a book written by William Marsh and published in 1857. The book explores the concept of leisure activities and their impact on individuals and society. Marsh argues that there are two types of leisure activities: worldly diversions and rational recreations. Worldly diversions are activities that are pursued for the sake of pleasure and entertainment, such as gambling, drinking, and dancing. Marsh argues that these activities are harmful to individuals and society because they can lead to addiction, immorality, and a waste of time and resources. On the other hand, rational recreations are activities that are pursued for the sake of personal development and improvement, such as reading, writing, and engaging in intellectual pursuits. Marsh argues that these activities are beneficial to individuals and society because they can lead to personal growth, intellectual stimulation, and a positive impact on the community. Throughout the book, Marsh provides examples of both types of leisure activities and their impact on individuals and society. He also offers practical advice on how to choose rational recreations and avoid worldly diversions. Overall, The Right Choice is a thought-provoking book that encourages readers to think critically about their leisure activities and make choices that will benefit themselves and society as a whole.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
