Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Brief Remarks on English Manners: And an Attempt to Account for Some of Our Most Striking Peculiarities; In a Series of Letters to a Friend in France AS it may appear in the following Remarks that I am at variance with myself; - that is, with the motto I have adopted in my title page, I wish to observe that in expressing with Cowpcriny attachment to English Manners, I understand the word to signify, as he probably did, general moral conduct; - and that, when I venture to criticise certain national peculiarities in our manners, I view the term in its more limited sense, and complain of defects in our system of politeness, or exteriour manner. At a period when our national character has been raised to an unprecedented height of glory it may prove a wholesome exercise to investigate the nature of our defects; - a task in which human beings are at all times too backward to engage.
