Let us see here, too, the complaining party take an unprejudiced view of his relation to society.

Most assuredly, in no other way will his reputation and his treatment by the world be reversed.
By taking great pains, for otherwise I never should: my figure by no means entitled me to it; and I had certainly an up-hill game; whereas your countenance would help you, if you made the most of it, and proscribed for ever the guilty, gloomy, and funereal part of it.
