Observation-Disclosures 3:5-6.
Be more economical in the use of
your mother tongue. Apply your
terms of praise with precision; use
epithets with some degree of judg-
ment and fitness. Do not waste your
best and highest words upon inferior
objects, and find, when you have mel
with something which is really super
latively great and good, the terms by
which you would distinguish it have
all been thrown away unon inferior
things Timothy Titcomb.
