Here are some further vulgar errors, primary and secondary: 

Primary—­Idleness, and excessive self-indulgence;

Secondary—­Penances, and self-inflicted tortures.

Primary—­Swallowing whole all that is said or done by one’s party;

Secondary—­Dread of quite agreeing, or quite disagreeing on any point with any one; and trying to keep at exactly an equal distance from each.

Primary—­Following the fashion with indiscriminate ardour;

Secondary—­Finding a merit in singularity, as such.

Primary—­Being quite captivated with thought which is striking and showy, but not sound;

Secondary—­Concluding that whatever is sparkling must be unsound.

2.  Thinking an artisan a fine, manly, independent fellow, because he is always much less respectful in his demeanour to the squire than he is to other people.

1.  Thinking it a fine thing to be a fast, reckless, swaggering, drinking, swearing reprobate:  Being ashamed of the imputation of being a well-behaved and (above all) a pious and conscientious young man:  Thinking it manly to do wrong, and washy to do right;
