Now let us consider how difficult it is even for great men to escape from being Snobs.

It is very well for the reader, whose fine feelings are disgusted by the assertion that Kings, Princes, Lords, are Snobs, to say 'You are confessedly a Snob yourself.

In professing to depict Snobs, it is only your own ugly mug which you are copying with a Narcissus-like conceit and fatuity.' But I shall pardon this explosion of ill-temper on the part of my constant reader, reflecting upon the misfortune of his birth and country.

It is impossible for ANY Briton, perhaps, not to be a Snob in some degree.

If people can be convinced of this fact, an immense point is gained, surely.
