Inducements
None given in general
in books, but the simple
approbation
or disapprobation
of the author
This is the case
wherever the recommendation
is given
in the form of a
precept
Men are to believe
him to be a wiser
man than ordinary
because he likes you
so — His disapprobation
is to be regarded
as an earnest of
the disapprobation
& displeasure of
the world at large.
Anger —
Inducements to
abstain from
— 1. Painful in they
the existence of it
— it supposes pru

2. It The gratification
of it excites enmity
on the part of the
object — thence attracts
ill offices the fruits
of enmity
3. The attempts at
gratification expose
to disappointment
4. Exposes a man to
general odium — to
the pain of the popular
sanction.
Progress of refinement
in the practice
of the art of
keeping fair with
people —
How compliments
can action their
sweetness —
Excuses Pretenses their faculty
of deluding, &
their real meaning
How compliments
and excuses may
even at length
have the effect of
affronts.
Parallel case — Words

delicacy, and serving
as veils to gross
ideas, become indelicate
when the
gross idea has acquired
a pwful
connection with
the word employd
to cover it.
Examples

Baises une femme
To pluck a rose
To sleep with a
woman

all facts without
distinction — Sincerity
only facts
of a certain nature
How far politeness
is compatible tiable with
sincerity
Taste Prudence —
Subordinate to the
