to society. The detracttr will tell
us pcrbaps.'lhat it is necessary that
truth should be known, aud the
public nfeds ; to know men as they
aie, adding moreover that he does
iat tlander the wise and good.
: Out we answer, that such truth is
useful to the public when it treats
of criincs, and not of iiifirroitieg,
ana couceaka atl.cts.- A - s'as-
drer, is a', cowardly,! inaqrderer,
when he ; divtilges ; truth capable
of destrovipe tlie eood oniikn of
cooKcg the benevolence, and inju
ring the well being of his ftdlou
cyn. Finally e can say to him,
that sociubla being owes even to
nnknovvu and 1 lutlilfereut persons,
his, respect and consideration, and
violating the obligation, he gives
oecaidon for bis ou character to be
bli kened, and his secret faults to
be divulged. A$ u6 man con uatter
hiaielC with hauag uo . fulu, and
as man i willing, that his fault?
should lie- divulged, it is very easily
inferred, that ought not to "pro
claim those of every other person."
: Slucdet uodtT aoy ! aspect in
Hhirh it is contemplated, ought to
be condemned on account of t..e
winch it continually produces. Thi j
is a cause of many evils, but of no
good;-and the -detractor r is always
baUd although slander pleases.
Slander is the' daughter of eavv,
and the handmaid' of idleness, It
ought not to flatter itself for so con
temptible an origin. Nothing is
more useful than to know how to be
