There is no vein of saucy and envious "banausia" in the man; even in his most graceless sneer, his fault if fault it be is, that he cannot and will not pretend to respect that which he knows to be unworthy of respect.
Some thoughtful persons regarded the book with utter contempt and indignation; it seemed to them a crime to have written it; a proof of 'banausia, as Aristotle would have called it, only to be outdone by the writing a 'Comic Bible. After a while, however, their indignation began to subside; their second thoughts, as usual, were more charitable than their first; they were not surprised to hear that the author was an honest, just, and able magistrate; they saw that the publication of such a book involved no moral turpitude; that it was merely meant as a jest on a subject on which jesting was permissible, and as a money speculation in a field of which men had a right to make money; while all which seemed offensive in it was merely the outcome, and as it were apotheosis, of that method of writing English history which has been popular for nearly a hundred years.
