I SAY the human shape or face is so great, it must never be made ridiculous; I say for ornaments nothing outré can be allowed,And that anything is most beautiful without orna- ment,And that exaggerations will be sternly revenged in your own physiology; and in other persons' phys- iology also; And I say that clean-shaped children can be jetted and conceiv'd only where natural forms prevail in public, and the human face and form are never caricatured; And I say that genius need never more be turn'd to romances,(For facts properly told, how mean appear all ro- mances.)

WITH one man or woman—(no matter which one—I even pick out the lowest,)With him or her I now illustrate the whole law;I say that every right, in politics or what-not, shall be eligible to that one man or woman, on the same terms as any.
