This hypertext offers a new approach towards understanding
the language of
eighteenth-century sensibility. It provides an atmospheric
view of the multiple
connotations of the terms of that language. 

from The Deserted Village by  Goldsmith, Oliver

51: Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey, 
52: Where wealth accumulates, and men decay. 
53: Princes and lords may flourish, or may fade; 
54: A breath can make them, as a breath has made: 
55: But a bold peasantry, their country's pride, 
56: When once destroy'd, can never be supplied. 

Mackenzie's sentimental novel, The Man Of Feeling, also
describes the forced eviction of povety-stricken tneants.
