Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Council in the Moon Hold a little, Gentlemen! That's a Secret not to be discovered, till an-handsome Reward is offered by the Government. But so far I'll satisfy you, that I was neither conveyed by a Broomstick, a Pair of Wings, a Berlin, a Post-Coach, or any other Flying Machine. The Lunatics (for so the People arc called) bear the most exact Resemblance to the Inhabitants of the Earth, in their Persons, Customs, Manners, and Ways of Living. They, like ourselves, blindly pursue Shadows for Substances, oppose the plainest Dictates of Nature and Reason, and often philosophize themselves out of their Happiness, whilst they mean to fix it upon the surest Foundations. Without Consideration or Choice, and even without common Thought, they ardently espouse one Opinion, rather than another. It is no uncommon Thing among Them to be led into the fame Persuasion, by the Habit they wear, the Tribe or Company with which they are connected; by the Vocation in Life they happen to be engaged in, or by the Multitude, that, like a Torrent, carries Them, with irresistible Force, into whatever Channel it pleases.
