GESrLENAS.-In the modern languages of western
Europe, we generally find word to signify person
distinguished by his standing from the laboring
classes as geaiiiuono, gentilhomme, hidslgo, etc.
In TIE German language, the term which most nearly
expresses the idea, is gcbildet, which includes
not only geatlemanly manners, but also a cultivated
mind. The English law books say. that, under the
denomination Of gentleman are comprised all above
yeomen; so that neblcMen truly called gentlemen;
and further that gentleman in England is generally
defined to be one, who, without any title bears
of arms, whose ancestors have been freemen the
coat determines whether he is or is not descended
from others of the same name. In Backstone's ia
BILE of the rules of precedence in England we fad,
after the nobility and certain official dgpitaries the
doctors esquires, gentlemen ycomen, tradesmen, ar
tficers, laborers, take rank in the order which
have named them. But the word corresponding TO
gentleman, has in no language received go much Of
| moral sign6cation as in England. The reason OF
this seems TO be, that arstocracy has no where
taken the lead in all matters Of life 50 much a. in
England; and thar, therefore, the word gentlemen
meaning originally, man Of gentle that 10, nssle
blood, soon came TO signify that does what is
proper and becoming, and behaves like person Of
higher viz, we'll. bred classes. Gentleman IN its
highest sense, signifies person who not only does
wha, is right and just, bat whose conduct is guided
by true principle Of honor, that honor which does
not consist in observing fashionable punctilcs but
springs from that sef-respect and intellectual refine
| ment which manifest themselves in easy and free yet
delicate manners. To be truly gentleman in feel
ing and manners, is an object Of great import ance
and many well.meanng persons, in the education Of
the young forget to awaken, early enough the sense
Of honor aud sefrespeet, which IS one of the bes,
guards against all meanness OF conduct. Gentle
man, IN the United States is q word of very COM
rrehenslve character. The anecdote related of the
Duke Of SAKE Wemer, during his travels in this
country, that stage ceachman to his inn, and
asked him-"Arey ou the man who goes in the stagel
l am the gentleman that's 10 drive you"-s good
caricaure of he wholesale application Of the word
among Us.
