 note = {pdf, The essays in early-modern ages have the wide variety of the contents.
Among these essays, there is one group which study historical evidence about the very small part of manners and customs.
Manners and customs of the life of the ordinary people and their origin and the daily happenings - they seem to be unimportant at a glance - were recorded minutely in this group. What kind of mind is hidden in them ?
People in modern ages had the abilities to abstract and grasp things. But people in early-modern ages didn't. They had the abilities, that is, the materialistic abilities instead.
I suppose these essays were written by these materialistic abilities. The writers found the extreme luxury in the minute things.
They saw the height of prosperity in these minute manners and customs and had the anxieties that it would decline in a short time. They caught the changes of manners and customs as the sign that would decline before long.
Surely those are the essays in early-modern ages that describe the anxieties of the times ?},
