241 II. Why is it that the cultivated Englishman, in particular the man of letters, has usually cherished a weakness for the coimtry gentleman which he has never felt for the town gentleman ? Bourgeois is a term of dislike, which has found a modem equivalent in Philis- tine, and we can hardly set-ofif bumpkin against it on the other side of the case. I think the reason, or great part of the reason, is that the man of letters, being usually a man of the city, has a peculiar relish of the bonhomi...e of the country gentleman or Franklin, which presents itself to his mind softened by the distance which lends enchantment. There is bonhomie in town as well as in country, and John Gilpin is as simple-hearted as Sir Eoger de Coverley; but it is diflBcult to pick him out of Cheapside or Ludgate, while Sir Roger stands conspicuous in his manor-house in the midst of his acres and his tenantry, like a tree that stands by a hedge-row. The originalities of his character are innocent and pleasant, like gables on a roof that let light into bed-rooms.
