A very pretty condition for a travelling Governor. (Florid: That amazing connexion between the Organs of bodily Sensation, and the faculties of Moral Perception.) Take him out of the Room; he shall be discharg'd to-morrow morning, as a vain Pretender to a Philosophy which his conduct shews him to be incapable of relishing. I remember when I was at the University I heard that several Men of distinguished Genius, were admirers of that System, and in their hands it may have its lustre, but Mr. Florid's principles, shew that he is very little enamour'd with the Ideas of Beauty and Nature. (Harriet: And pray Sir, when you dismiss him, give him back this Letter.) ((Reads.)) "To Miss Harriet Quicksett--Ideas of Beauty and Virtue--good and beautiful are the same--enjoy with me Order, Harmony, and Proportion, O--sweetest of Sensations--Moral Sense--Eternal admirer, with the most enthusiastic Imagination. Florid." A very honest design, and agreeable to his moral fitness of things.
