Excerpt from On the Relative Influence of City and Country Life, on Morality, Health, Fecundity, Longevity, and Mortality

The great ultimate aim of human nature is sociability. Every man looks forward to a time when he will have more leisure to give to his friends, to enjoy with them interchange of thought and hospitality. As man emerges more and more from a savage or semi-barbarous state (state of nature), he first acquires property, place, ease; then cordiality, hospitality, and sociability; and to facilitate all these, he must needs congregate with his fellows.
