¶'Profession is usually confined to the Church, the Law, Physic, and Arms; but in fact, Gentlemen, Statesmen, and Princes, exercise functions of the highest consequence in the state: and no word seems more proper to designate their occupations than the term Profession.' Hence, the contents include chapters on the above and the Education of a Country Gentleman, Statesmen, and a Prince.
