Sida 275 - ... entirely owing to a want of that true and sincere politeness which should animate the whole conduct, though the manner of expressing it must be different according to different circumstances.

Sida 244 - Lavater has urged that persons habitually attentive to their attire, display the same regularity in their domestic affairs.

Sida 268 - ... that by such means it not only encourages vanity in those to whom it is addressed, but may also draw them in to make themselves appear ridiculous, by the affectation of qualities to which they have little or no pretension. Nor does this artificial kind of flattery generally stop at such qualities as are in themselves indifferent; it is too often employed (and perhaps still more successfully) in disguising and palliating faults, and thereby affording encouragement to those whose inclinations were...
