Excerpt from Yorkshire Longevity, or Records and Biographical Anecdotes of Persons Who Have Attained to Extreme Old Age Within That County

The Egyptians, in the most glorious period Of their history, paid great respect to old age. The young were obliged to rise for the old, and, on every occasion, to resign for them the most honourable seat. The Spartans, also, honoured the aged, - by saluting them, by giving them place in the streets, and in rising up to shew them honour in all companies and public assemblies so that it was an agreeable thing to grow old in that city; and Old age had nowhere SO honourable an abode as in Sparta.
