Poison in Pleasures
New Cyclopoedia of Illustration
James 5:1-6
Go to now, you rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come on you.…


It is said to have been a plan sometimes practised in the Middle Ages, to send poisoned flowers to princes or great persons, when a plot was laid against their life. Whether the fact be true or not, the moral it may suggest is true.
