The laws of good breeding might be properly classed
under the pleasures of amity – to which they belong. They demand
as dependent upon positive efficient benevolence in the ordinary intercourse of life the doing
all those services, – the creating all those pleasuresin the ordinary against
which neither prudence nor beneficence in their regions of
wider influence have aught to object. Good-breeding
when it degenerates into formality or ceremoniousness
loses the charm of beneficence. Separately taken acts
of good-breeding are of small importance. Added together
the amount of pain & pleasure dependent on them
will be found to be very considerable. Good breeding is
a quality perpetually in action during demand while conducting our relations
with others – for there is scarcely any one action which
may not be made instrumental to more or less of pain
or pleasure dependent on the mode of doing it – that pain or pleasure dependent often on the
good or ill-gracemanner with which the action is done.
