The modes in which the feelings pride or vanity feelings of others may be wounded
by discourse are many: for example:

By direct reprehension, whether by the imputation of
positive misconduct, on a particular occasion, on the part of
the persons addressed, – or by that general assumption
of authority which intimates by words the right of
general dictation.

The right to reprehend is in itself a virtual claim
of superiority – & a claim put forward in the manner which is likely to consist best hurt
most likely the pride & vanity of him upon whom it is
exercised. Reprehension is awarded punishment, and
unless the title in proportion to the doubtfulness of dis the title to arbitrate &
to condemn of him who thus takes on himself the powers functions of
judgment condemner will be the perils incurred by his
own self interest – from the enmity of the party punished.
The extent too of his malevolence will be
measured by the same standard, – & all in the assumption of power authority to reprehend the proportion of the needless severity of the
reprehension will the general amount of his
usurpation will be measured by the needless severity
of his reprehension.
