[4229,3]
Observe the French
people, and mind how easily and naturally civil their address is, and
how agreeably they insinuate little civilities in their conversation.
Τhey think it so essential, that they call an honest man and a civil man
by the same name, of honnête
homme; and the Romans called civility humanitas, as thinking it inseparable from
humanity.
