9216. YOUNG MEN, Patronizing.—

I
have written to you in the style to which I
have been always accustomed with you, and
which perhaps it is time I should lay aside.
But while old men are sensible enough of
their own advance in years, they do not sufficiently
recollect it in those whom they have
seen young.—
