It is remarkable how greatly our estimate of ourselves and our qualities differs from the estimate formed of us by others. If the thing were practicable, many folks would realise heavily by selling themselves at their own valuation (if they could and customers), and afterwards buying themselves back on the basis of other people's notion of their worth. The more numerous and the harder the blows aimed at our self-conceit in the days of our youth, the better for as. They palverise, as it were, the worser part of our nature, and nothing arvives the process but what deserves to endure "And what are you?" adked a Lord Chief Justi e of
