GENERAL SIR ROBERT WILSON.

VOLUME II.

"'Αλλο εἶδος, ἐὰν αὐτός τις ᾖ γεννάδας τὴν ψυχὴν καὶ μεγαλόψυχος καὶ τούτον εὐγενῆ φασίν. ΚΑΙ ΤΗΣ ΓΕ ΕΥΓΕΝΕΙΑΣ ΑΥΤΗ ΚΡΑΤΙΣΤΗ. τῆς ἄρα εὐγε νείας, τὸ μὲν ἀπὸ προγόνων ἐπιεικῶν, τὸ δὲ δυναστῶν, τὸ δὲ ἐνδόξων, ΤΟ ΔΕ ΑΠΟ ΤΗΣ ΑΥΤΟΥ ΚΑΛΟΚΑΓΑΘΙΑΣ.”

"And, lastly, him also they call noble that hath his own inbred dignity and greatness of spirit. THIS IS THE BEST KIND OF NOBILITY. So that nobility hath its ground either from ancestors eminent for justice; or from such as have held place and power; or from such as have acquired rank and fame; or FROM A MAN'S OWN UPRIGHTNESS AND HONOUR."-PLATO, quoted by SELDEN.
