contemporary, that his agreeable manner
often converted an enemy into friend,
and, by another, that it was more pleasing
to be denied favor by his Grace, than to

where conciliatory manners have made the
fortunes of physicians, lawyers, divines,
politicians, merchants, and indeed individ-

to stranger, his afability, or the reverse,
creates instantaneously preposession in
his behalf, or awakens unconsciously a
prejudice against him. To men, ciyility

general passport to favor; a letter of re-
