MASONS WHOM WE HAVE MET . No . IV .
IT would be an interesting feature to note the inward emotions—supposing it were possible—which stir the pulses of great men when , either in caricature or biographical notice , they find themselves portrayed in print .
Many have no doubt been curious to know how ouv eminent statesmen and politicians " feel" when , in the columns devoted either to solid or satirical literature , they are held up to the public gaze , for admiration on the one
hand or whimsical contempt on the other . The beauty of this anonymous attribute of the English Press lies in the fact that the extolled ones are at a loss to ascertain to whom they are indebted for—we will not say adulation , but—the
unveiling of virtues they may be naturally and modestly wishful should not be paraded before the world ; whilst , taking the opposite view to the thin-skinned individuals who , having assumed a virtue they do not possess ,
explode with vexation at the exposure of their idiosyncrasies and follies , and are ready to rush , like Sancho Panza , at any literary windmill they might espy , provided they could trace the author who had the audacity either to poke
fun at them or to damn them with " faint praise . " Thus we find that on the Continent and elsewhere it is easy enough for a journal of waspish temperament so to tittilate the anger and " harrow up the young blood " of the
sensitive as to incite to deeds of questionable valour in order to vindicate the " honour " of the offended one ; whilst in not a few cases those who receive flattering encomiums at the
hands of designing litterateurs , whose handwriting can be traced upon the wall , are lavish in their recognition of benefits bestowed , on the ground that it
is" Better be damned than not mentioned at all . " Happily in this country the Press is far less tarnished by these " mercenary or other unworthy motives " than journalism abroad , though it is hardly necessary to say there
are exceptions to the pure and lofty tone which prevails amongst the best-conducted newspapers in our midst . We are led to these few preliminary observations in the present sketch by the many letters and communications
received from brethren , some of whom lay the flattering unction to their souls that they must be the individuals referred to where any praiseworthy trait of character is
presented to our readers , and by others who wax unnecessarily and insanely wroth because they labour under the fond delusion that we have viciously " pitched into them " and heaped gratuitous insult upon their devoted heads .
