With some men persons self-recommendation self-elevation is the most efficient
instrument of courtship self-ingratiation: with others, courtship

Or rather in some persons self-recommendation self-elevation may
be employed with less reserve than with others.

For, there are now no where courtship may will not,
unless accompanied with great extraordinary imprudence and injudiciousness
be in a to be employed with full assurance of success,
but there are some few in whom self-recommendation can not
be employed without more or less hazard: hazard of lessening lowering
one's self either in place either on the scale of their esteem
or on the scale of their social affection.

Of the two Self-elevation is naturally most agreeable to self:
It is therefore ver proportionably apt to be employed on such
occasions and in such manner as to counteract the
purpose for which it is practiced.

The sort of mind most apt to fall into this cover
is the young mind of a young person who by any circumstances state of things
of having been led to assign to himself a place above the
ordinary level on the scale of general estimation, is rendered averse
to the practice of courtship, by the fear of its being regarded
as in the light of disreputable flattery, and in such sort as to lower thus lower his place
on the scale of general estimation.
