This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1739 Excerpt: ... Of genteel and generous Behaviour. fTT H E moft certain and infallible way to'-. win the Efteem and Affection of Men, is, to delight in doing them Good, and to obviate their Neceffities, provided it be done 'With a good Grace, and in an engaging and generous Manner; 'tis not fufficient to oblige People, but it muft be done properly both in Time and Place: There's an Art in feafoning Benefits, but the greateft Difficulty is to give; and as Intereft is the great Spring that moves Mankind, the ufual way is, to keep them in Sufpenfe with Hopes.
