liable to be warped by interest, – or exasperated by
passion.

If called upon to give an unfavorable opinion
as to a saying of any kind, – or a work of any kind
which you disapprove, – do not be forward to
communicate your disapprobation merely because
your self-love is flattered by the appeal made to
your judgment. If the influence of that of which you
disapprove be pernicious to mankind – in conveying
be a purpose of preponderate good, your opinion to
others – employ no phraseology stronger than is absolutely
necessary to convey communicate the amount of your
unapproval, taking care that no portion of malevolence
mingles with your award.

Be especially cautious not to drag forward ill
conduct which but for your reference to it might be
forgotten. Except for some obvious purpose of future good, to
treasure up in your mind the records of old misdeeds of
others, – is to sin against prudence & benevolence – it
is you to make your breast a store house of pain to be inflicted on yourself & on others.
The expression of dissatisfaction at past ill conduct – when
it has no reference to present ill conduct – & at the
the same time is not likely to prevent future ill-conduct
is the creation of misery to no end whatever.
