Howells Quite so good as we should like it in our better moods, I think it is not so wholly bad, either, as it appears when we consider the lost condition of our neighbors. The satirists, who are for the most part great liars, are unhappily the best painters of contemporary manners, and History - a good, stupid, honest enough Muse - is too often dazzled by their brilliancy, and, resorting to them as authority, unconsciously applies their vivid colors to morals, and finally presents a type which is not really representative of the epoch.

But the truth must be, that in every corrupt age there is a vast amount of quiet virtue and purity which form the real life of the community. Pos sibly one age differs from another rather in the appear ance than in the fact of wickedness; the corrupt age is that in which immorality is the fashion; and we all.
