OBSERVATIONS ON MANNERS AND HABITS. BY GEORGE
WINTREDHERvEY. l2no. PIP 800. Harper brothen
We have no great faith in statute laws
or the regulation of manners. The foundation OF
ourtesv must be laid in the refined natural taste
md gracious culture of the individual, else society
will present only a menagerie of "two-legged
rutes without feathers" or collection OF smooth
