 There IS Tn every person something pe- culiar to himself; and as this peculiarly of personal ldent1ty'is essential to ena3ie us to distinguish one individual from anoth- CT, so there IS in every person some pre- dominant passion or appetite, some pecu- liar excellence or defect, by which each one IS easily distinguislable from another. the study therefore of human nature, 1t IS all important to ascertain not only it's ge- neral outlines, those traits which equally Ycharcterizes all men, but also those pecu- llarlties ofindividual character, by which one man IS distinguished from another. It IS by this course of reasoning we know how to estimate character by the study of hu- man nature--separate the good from the bad, appreciate or condemn as the case may be.

 If in studying your character have ar rived at false conclusions in your estima- tion, the fault Is your own. If you never had written and published defence in jus tidcation Of yourself, and in elimination of othersa--had you not pledged yourself for certain charges, which you could not 'redeen1--a recantation " hich was disgrace fnl; and renewed with new vigor and ma ieyofenee, the political warfare of 1897, hy the publication of Jaw Bone Ss.
