THERE can be no greater instance of insincerity; than to pretend love for the sake of getting money. Consequently there is no character among men, more properly the object of contempt, than a fortune hunter. Disproportionate matches, in point of estate, bring insult on the part of the monied party; contempt and disgust on the other — And why should not the woman be contemptible too, who sets her cap at a man of fortune, when once she has learned to write her name, and is able to buy her a silk gown?
