Reasono the privilege of answering them. That a due regard shall be had to both human and monikin prejudices and sensibilities. That Dr. Reasono, and any monikins who may accompany him, shall smooth their coats, and otherwise dispose of their natural vestments, in a way that shall be as agreeable as possible to Sir John Goldencalf and his friend.
"The objection is highly ingenious, and creditable in the last degree to the diplomatic abilities of Sir John Goldencalf; but, among monikins, two females are deemed equal to only one male, in the eye of the law.
Now responsibility is the SUBSTITUTE for virtue in a politician, as discipline is the substitute for courage in a soldier. An army of brave monikins without discipline, would be very apt to be worsted by an army of monikins of less natural spirit, with discipline.

It suddenly came to my recollection that the monikins had left all the remains of their particular stores on board, consisting of an ample supply of delicious nuts.
Alas! this is too much the case with us monikins, I must allow; though, doubtless, among men you manage a vast deal more cleverly."

Indeed, if you wish to circulate freely in genteel society, I would advise you to get a pretty free use of the words, 'jacobins, 'rabble, 'mob, 'agrarians, 'canaille' and 'democrats'; for they recommend many to notice who possess nothing else.
