A man of sense may only have a cast of countenance 13 2| maturity; so that the man may only have to proceed, not 14 2| were, to the century. It may then fairly be inferred, 15 2| the abilities, every being may become virtuous by the exercise 16 2| reasonable principles, it may be impossible to convince 17 2| less mind than man.~ ~ I may be accused of arrogance; 18 2| weakness to females, we may instance the example of 19 2| resolute, robust men; they may be well disciplined machines, 20 2| maintain, is the same. It may be further observed, that 21 2| or opinions analyzed.~ ~ May not the same remark be applied 22 2| women? Nay, the argument may be carried still further, 23 2| mothers, their moral character may be estimated by their manner 24 2| of conscious virtue. They may try to render their road 25 2| woman was created for man, may have taken its rise from 26 2| husband's affection? Weakness may excite tenderness, and gratify 27 2| adorn her person, that she may amuse the languid hours, 28 2| to conceal it, though it may govern their conduct; - 29 2| what character the husband may have whom she is destined 30 2| rough inelegant husband may shock her taste without 31 2| with them: his character may be a trial, but not an impediment 32 2| and, however convenient it may be found in a companion - 33 2| though for a few years they may procure the individuals 34 2| discoveries and improvements may arrive when the gloom of 35 2| softened into virtues, may be imitated in kind, though 36 2| same in kind, though they may vainly struggle for the 37 2| less to turn it.~ ~ These may be termed Utopian dreams. - 38 3| extreme run into another, may easily be proved; but first 39 3| be proved; but first it may be proper to observe, that 40 3| carry me further than it may be supposed I wish to go; 41 3| It belongs to women, if I may be allowed the expression, 42 3| weakness of men; and they may well glory in their illicit 43 3| consequences are uniformly such as may be expected to proceed from 44 3| the divine right of kings, may, it is to be hoped, in this 45 3| and, though conviction may not silence many boisterous 46 3| dress, conspicuous in women, may be easily accounted for, 47 3| adores a dark cloud, which may open a bright prospect to 48 3| blind unsettled affection may, like human passions, occupy 49 3| displaying intellectual beauty, may be overlooked or observed 50 3| limit them; and that be may press forward without considering 51 3| life of her protector; he may die and leave her with a 52 3| romantic ground, though he may think her a pleasing docile 53 3| experience shews, that the blind may as easily be led into a 54 3| of her sphere; nay, she may observe another of his grand 55 3| her trembling hand closed, may still see how she subdues 56 3| and rising from the grave, may say - Behold, thou gavest 57 3| convenience.~ ~ Women, I allow, may have different duties to 58 3| remain obtuse. The argument may fairly be extended to women; 59 3| acquire virtues which they may call their own, for how 60 4| stamen of immortality, if I may be allowed the phrase, is 61 4| in itself. More or less may be conspicuous in one being 62 4| man, 'that with honour he may love,'*(2) the soul of woman 63 4| to account for any thing, may (in a very incomplete manner) 64 4| invention - the aphorism may be extended to virtue. It 65 4| whom she too, in sport, may really elevate for ever 66 4| not stifle it though it may excite a horse-laugh. - 67 4| appeared amongst the nobility, may it not be fairly inferred 68 4| who are localized, if I may be allowed the word, by 69 4| most desirable. The same may be said of the rich; they 70 4| easy price at which they may acquire the publick admiration; 71 4| society, the love of pleasure may be said to govern them all; 72 4| the strange things that may possibly occur on the road; 73 4| the impression that she may make on her fellow-travellers; 74 4| created for? To remain, it may be said, innocent; they 75 4| graceful covering, which may serve to heighten their 76 4| fears, when not affected, may produce some pretty attitudes; 77 4| make man a brute, that they may expect every instant to 78 4| instinct and sensibility may be the step, which they 79 4| intellectual pursuit, though it may be observed, that the mass 80 4| intellectual object,* I may be allowed to infer that 81 4| situation, a docile female may remain some time, with a 82 4| solitude.~ ~ These two women may be much upon a par, with 83 4| cultivation; and by, which may not appear so clear, strengthening 84 4| seek for more agreeable, may I be allowed to use a significant 85 4| not to be considered, they may be left to chance; it is 86 4| accidental physical cause may account for this phenomenon, 87 4| and still more are, as it may emphatically be termed, 88 4| extinction in its own flame, may be termed the violent death 89 4| by time. The very reverse may be said of love. In a great 90 4| ambition ever gain ground they may be brought nearer to nature 91 4| form the person; and this may be one reason why some gentle 92 4| tell, how many generations may be necessary to give vigour 93 4| c. These, and many more, may be reckoned exceptions; 94 5| distinctions. But, if, as I think, may be demonstrated, the purposes, 95 5| upon this ignoble base, I may be allowed to doubt whether 96 5| render it weak, and what some may call beautiful, the understanding 97 5| such confinement, that it may not afterwards cost them 98 5| their caprices, that they may the more readily submit 99 5| and manner; a meek husband may make a wife impertinent; 100 5| natural effervescence, she may do the same after parting 101 5| perfection of body, that we may know how far the natural 102 5| moral person, of which woman may be termed the eyes, and 103 5| unsettled. Indeed, the husband may not have any religion to 104 5| reflect, that a reflecting man may not yawn in her company, 105 5| the subject, the reader may determine.~ ~ 'They who 106 5| of her practical reason, may be employed in judging of 107 5| intent at a card-table, he may be generalizing his ideas 108 5| arbiter of his pleasures. It may cost you, perhaps, some 109 5| valuable. It is thus you may employ even the arts of 110 5| observations.~ ~ Dr. Fordyce may have had a very laudable 111 5| neither the face nor limbs may have much beauty to recommend 112 5| reach it, though the ear may be tickled.~ ~ I shall be 113 5| adoration. His imagination may raise the idol of his heart, 114 5| individual. A virtuous man may have a choleric or a sanguine 115 5| beauty, gentleness, &c. &c. may gain a heart; but esteem, 116 5| regulation of the behaviour may safely be left to its guidance.~ ~ 117 5| earnestly pursuing their road, may bound over many decorous 118 5| are tied together by what may properly be termed character. 119 5| sticks very close to sense, may dazzle the weak; but leave 120 5| sentiment, that a woman may allow all innocent freedoms, 121 5| will obtain it, though they may never be told that - 'The 122 5| man - the prerogative that may emphatically be called the 123 5| a son of the earth, they may escape, who dare to brave 124 5| being a human creature, she may as well whine about the 125 5| sentiments of too many of my sex, may serve as the text for a 126 5| persons, for though beauty may gain a heart, it cannot 127 5| equivocal circumstances may lead the world to suspect 128 5| they can judge, and they may patiently wait till the 129 5| quick? This dry caution may, it is true, guard a character 130 5| and vices of man, that be may be taught prudently to guard 131 5| another step of existence, it may receive to the anxious questions 132 5| weaknesses of his nature. You may not, it is true, make an 133 5| the common standard. He may avoid gross vices, because 134 5| thought an axiom in morals may not have been a dogmatical 135 5| the understanding.~ ~ I may be told, that the knowledge 136 5| be a prejudice, though it may be an error in judgment: 137 5| of arguing, if arguing it may be called, reminds me of 138 5| abstractly true.* Nay, it may be inferred, that reason 139 5| sagacious parent or tutor may strengthen the body and 140 5| only the poetical part, and may afford the individual pleasure 141 5| it a more moral being. It may be a substitute for worldly 142 6| understanding, it is true, may keep us from going out of 143 6| respect, when it is felt, may be very sublime; and the 144 6| consciousness of humility may render the dependent creature 145 6| deigning to reason; and it may also be easily distinguished 146 6| women. And the difference may easily be accounted for, 147 7| true delicacy of mind! - may I unblamed presume to investigate 148 7| emotions of pity and disgust, may serve to illustrate this 149 7| unless the soul is active, may easily be distinguished 150 7| the question whether women may be instructed in the modern 151 7| sedateness of deportment may have succeeded the playful, 152 7| priests. Devotion, or love, may be allowed to hallow the 153 7| effect of chastity, they may deserve to have this virtue 154 7| produce modesty, though it may propriety of conduct, when 155 7| borrowed by wantonness, may give a zest to voluptuous 156 7| the subject more. Truth may always be told to children, 157 7| dignify my advice that it may not offend the fastidious 158 7| damp the sensibility.~ ~ It may be thought that I lay too 159 7| of daily duties; and it may be reckoned fanciful, but 160 7| place of bashfulness. They may find it prudent to assume 161 7| Nature, in these respects, may safely be left to herself; 162 8| depends only on himself, and may brave the public opinion: 163 8| circumstance, a good man may come to be suspected of 164 8| accident of this kind he may be said to lose his all, 165 8| his utmost circumspection, may be ruined by an earthquake 166 8| those we live with. A person may be easily misrepresented 167 8| conduct. An innocent man may be believed to have done 168 8| darts of undeserved censure may pierce an innocent tender 169 8| negative virtues and qualities, may not sometimes obtain a smoother 170 8| large, whilst the other may have more friends in private 171 8| Because each by-stander may have his own prejudices, 172 8| nature - in himself. If I, he may thus argue, who exercise 173 8| green on which that eye may look with complacency that 174 8| absurdly called, be safe, she may neglect every social duty; 175 8| which a woman of honour may not commit with impunity.' 176 8| habitual respect for mankind as may prevent us from disgusting 177 8| dishes to which every glutton may have access.~ ~ I may be 178 8| glutton may have access.~ ~ I may be told that great as this 179 8| voluptuous, and though they may not all carry their libertinism 180 8| be mothers, though they may conceive; so that the rich 181 8| modesty, though her reputation may be white as the driven snow, 182 9| unfortunate victims to it, if I may so express myself, swathed 183 9| them, than men, because men may still, in some degree, unfold 184 9| British politics, if system it may courteously be called, consisting 185 9| humanity is agitated he may dip a sop in the milk of 186 9| blood, though his cold hand may at the very moment rivet 187 9| loop-holes out of which a man may creep, and dare to think 188 9| render them alluring that man may lend them his reason to 189 9| management of an intrigue may keep their thoughts in motion; 190 9| usefulness and independence. I may excite laughter, by dropping 191 9| women to do in society? I may be asked, but to loiter 192 9| or delicacy, and others may not have had it in their 193 11| between parent and child, may be given in a few words: 194 11| though the epithet amiable may be tacked to it, a reasonable 195 11| indolent parent of high rank may, it is true, extort a shew 196 11| industry.' This strict hand may in some degree account for 197 11| the slavery of marriage. I may be told that a number of 198 11| includes a duty, and I think it may, likewise, fairly be inferred, 199 11| almost distinct from reason, may be found more nearly connected 200 12| however sagacious that man may be.~ ~ Besides, in youth 201 12| prevents disputation, though it may not inforce submission. 202 12| up at home, though they may pursue a plan of study in 203 12| public worship; and well they may, for such a constant repetition 204 12| good scholars, I grant, may have been formed by emulation 205 12| appearance the house and garden may make, the children do not 206 12| think, that the observation may fairly be extended to the 207 12| and what is called love, may subsist without simplicity 208 12| insipid.~ ~ This argument may be carried further than 209 12| nay, I believe that it may be delivered as an axiom, 210 12| sleep at home that they may learn to love home; yet 211 12| and any plan of reason may be seen through much sooner 212 13| shift the question, that he may assist his votaries; but, 213 13| communication, an adept may answer, with the world of 214 13| the arcana, therefore, I may speak improperly; but it 215 13| after such vile impostors, may displease some of my readers - 216 13| evil, by experience, we may hate one and love the other, 217 13| that whatever punishment may follow, will tend, like 218 13| vanity which such a fondness may naturally be expected to 219 13| to weak women, that they may not rest in the physical 220 13| course soon heal, and they may still people the world, 221 13| any thing noble in it, and may mostly be resolved into 222 13| that a more rational father may adopt; for unless a mother 223 13| with a sound constitution, may still keep her person scrupulously 224 13| characterized as cunning?
