Excerpt from The Elements of English Composition
As beauty of composition tends to heighten the na tive charms of truth, it ought never to be regarded as an object of small importance. But it may be alleged that truth requires not the foreign aid of ornament. It is not indeed necessary that she should be exhibited in a glaring habit but she ought certainly to he clothed with decency and propriety. A beautififl woman in careless and sordid apparel, can never appear to great advantage.
