Determination of the Dream Content

Convenience scholars often discuss the theory that each convenience writer tells her readers much about herself through her selection of source text, the emphases throughout her writing, and her overall advice.This convenience writer has selected Friedrich Christian Accum's 1822 text, A Treatise on Adulterations of Food, and Culinary Poisons, to urge caution.Some scholars posit that her warning about fraudulent dreams and her emphasis on kindness must result from a shocking and unkind dream experience of her own.

Determination of the Dream Content

In dreams,

the measure of the scandalous

is not a small measure.

A fraudulent dream life is extremely hard

upon people.

Mentally purchase half, or less, at a time

and let the measure be ever so kind.
