Facility promotes happiness France It is worth remarking that the people among
whom their engagement the least severity appears in the observance of
this engagement are the people who are remarkable
for being the most gayest of any in the world in Europe, and
to appearance the most happy: and perhaps in that
gay nation the gayest are those that class of people
by whom it is least regarded. Not that that circumstance
is by any means a conclusive proof
that this facility is the cause of their gaie happiness
supposing it to be real: all that it proves
is that a considerable degree of happiness may subsist
notwithstanding the facility: and that the happiness
of the people is not in proportion to the
prevalence of the contrary disposition. The facility may be only one inconvenient pernicious consequence, & not in any degree or more of this real or apparent happiness. Yet this is
