Ingenuousness is sometimes a virtue of sometimes
not. Where it leads a man to declare his sentiments without
being called upon, – there would be no disingenuousness in
his refraining from doing so, – & exceptions excepted the
declaration of unasked opinions is to be avoided. Where
being asked to declare his opinions he forbears to express
them, – his conduct would be disingenuous, – but not
necessarily blameworthy. Where no evil in any shape would
result from giving utterance to opinions, – & the expression of those opinions
is solicited – ingenuousness would be the ally worthy of praise.
