M«.v It appears that the most general Idea which people have formed of a gentle man 1? that of a person of fortune above the vufgar, and embellished by manners that are fashionable in high life. In this case, fortune and fashion •if the two constituent ingredients In th« composition of modern gentlemen for whatever the fashion may be, whether moral or immoral, for or 3 against reason, right or wrong, it is equally the duty of a gentleman to con form. And yet I apprehend that true gentility is altogether independent of fortune or fashion, of time, customs, or opinion? of any kind. The very same, qoillties that constituted a gentleman In tjie first age of the world, are per niinently invi| ':ble and Indlspen •ably necessary'to the constitution of the same character to the end of time. —Henry Brooke.
