Moreover, it is nearly certain that he will condemn both parties ; and so it is clear that you will do yourself some damage Digitized by VjOOQ IC AND GENERAL CULTURE. 221 in his repute of you by any entrance into any quarrel. For what bystander is industrious enough to consider, with all the labour that a just judgment re...quires, the causes and motives of the quarrel ?
Ofttimes he is totally deceived, and places the balance of wrongfulness upon that party or person who is least to blame. This occurs when there have been a series of insults, slights, or disparage- ments, patiently borne by the one side, which side, in the quarrel that the bystander happens to witness, seems to have broken out into an unreasonable passion upon a very trivial cause.
It is as when one sees a river, that has long gone underground, break out suddenly, and the beholder says, " Here is a rush of waters from some mysterious origin," little knowing for how long a course the quiet river has flowed under- ground, augmenting its volume from many hidden springs.
