Objects of dress discrimination
& equalisation
In regard relation to dress for the indication the objects that require to be kept
in view seem to be two words — distinction and equalisation
may suffice
18
Discrimination not
distinction
By distinction understand on this occasion not a
certificate mark of superiority in relation to nonfunctionaries or
functionaries of in any other situation but merely that
the avoidance of this which a person labours
under, so long as having reason to address himself to, as
may apply his attention to a person of a particular description, he
knows not how to distinguish him from the crowd by
which it may happen to him to be surrounded.
19
Equalisation what
By equalisation understand the preserving men from
pur that sort sentiment of contempt which
how involuntarily as was the better of a considerable
part of mind can scarce avoiding harbouring
any one in whose instance the figure of the body is
of a nature to produce it give birth to it
20
Dress inspiring respect
an evil
In so far as whether in of itself or through the accident
of ambiguity the effect of any habitiment is to produce
in the mind of beholders a sentiment of respect for him that wears
it, it is a cause of evil. What is certain is, that it is
not in the nature of it to make any addition to appropriate
aptitude in any shape. But so far as it has that
effect it operates as a certificate of such aptitude: and that in an
extra degree, conveying a the man to be regarded as possessing so much more
aptitude than he really possesses: it is operates therefore as a certificate
of aptitude and that certificate false. As often therefore
as it falls into the hands of a man deficient in aptitude, it is an
instrument of evil in his hands: while really doing evil it causes
him to be regarded as doing good. Without Taken away this certificate, the evil
would be and prevented or stopt: add the certificate, then
by
whom the evil would otherwise
have been resisted
submitt to it and evaporate
on the production
of it.
