of the whole, there is also _Humour_ contain'd in the Attack.

If instead of referring the _Foible_ of a Person to any _inanimate_
Circumstance, the _Allusion_ had been made to any other ridiculous
_Person_ in _real Life_; As a _conceited Fellow_, perpetually
recommending his own Whims, to a _Quack-Doctor_;--This _Foible_
will then be ridiculed with HUMOUR; which is likewise the original
_Ground_: At the same Time, from the _Comparison_ which is made, there
is apparently WIT in the Description.

So that where-ever the _Foible_ of a _Character_ in real Life is
concern'd, there HUMOUR comes in; and wherever a sprightly unexpected
_Arrangement_ is presented of two _similar_, or _opposite_ Subjects,
whether animate or inanimate, there WIT is exhibited.

HUMOUR and WIT, as they may thus both be united in the same Subject,
may also separately appear without the least Mixture together; that
is, there may be HUMOUR without WIT, and WIT without HUMOUR.

Thus, if in order to expose the _Foible_ of a _Character_, a _real
Person_ is introduc'd, abounding in this _Foible_, gravely persisting
in it, and valuing himself upon the Merit of it, with great Self-
sufficiency, and Disdain of others; this _Foible_ is then solely
ridiculed with HUMOUR.

Again, if a gay unexpected _Allusion_ is made from one _inanimate_
Object to another, or from one _Person_ in _real_ Life to another,
without any Reference to their whimsical _Oddities_ or _Foibles_;
there WIT only appears.--Various Instances of which, independent of
HUMOUR, have been already exhibited.
