And more especially putdown open, shameless, and brutal bribery and corruption, for its verycoarseness is, in itself, an additional crime. But no reform isefficacious that does not come from within; and when refined men wagewar against vulgar vices, let them look sharply to their own. I do notsay, that by taking thought they will be able to do entirely away withthe seductive influence of a bow, or a dinner, or a kind action; andthat, in spite of these, they will do their duty with the sternreso...lve of an ancient Spartan. But they will be less likely to yieldto temptation, and the price of their virtue will at least mounthigher and higher, which is as much as we can expect of human nature. The grand benefit, however, they will derive from the inquisition, isthe lesson of tolerance it will teach. They will refrain, for shame'ssake, from casting stones and calling names. They will see that theonly part of the offence _they_ can notice is vulgarity and ignorance, and they will quietly try to refine the one and enlighten the other.
