or _Coincidence_ of any Object with others, which are absurd and
contemptible, is unexpectedly exhibited;--There is also another, very
forcible, Manner in which _Ridicule_ may act; And that is by employing
_Humour_ alone; Thus the Foible or Queerness of any Person will be
most fully _ridicul'd_, by naturally dressing yourself, or any other
Person in that Foible, and exerting its full Strength and Vigour.

The POLITENESS of a Subject is the _Freedom_ of that Subject
from all _Indelicacy_, Aukardness_, and _Roughness_.

GOOD BREEDING consists in a _respectful_ Carriage to others,
accompany'd with _Ease_ and _Politeness_.

It appears from hence that GOOD BREEDING and POLITENESS differ in
this; that GOOD BREEDING relates only to the Manners of _Persons_
in their Commerce together; Whereas Politeness may relate also to
_Books_, as well as to _Persons_, or to any Subjects of Taste and
Ornament.

So that _Politeness_ may subsist in a Subject, as in a _Cornish_, or
_Architrave_, where _good Breeding_ can't enter; But it is impossible
for _good Breeding_ to be offer'd without _Politeness_.

At the same time _good Breeding_ is not to be understood, as merely
the _Politeness_ of _Persons_; But as _Respect_, tender'd with
_Politeness_, in the Commerce between _Persons_.

It is easy to perceive, that _good Breeding_ is a different Behaviour
in different Countries, and in the same Countries at different
Periods, according to the Manners which are us'd amongst _polite_
