The opinion of the author of the above treatise is that Benjamin Rush offered a quote in 1801 which has been embellished, expanded upon, and misattributed over the last 200 years to become what we read here in post 1080. I thought the sentiment was more relevant to our discussion than the precise attribution of the quote, some of which is unknowable.

Nice work, Ladies. The quote has been embellished so it fails the test.
