Excerpt from Emily: A Moral Tale Including Letters From a Father to His Daughter Upon the Important Subjects, Vol. 2 of 2
I do not think however that this inclination either in men or women arises more from spleen or ill nature, than a want of some other subject of conversation, or from a supposition that it is agreeable to those with whom they are converting: for we frequently find persons taking a great pleasure in reporting tales concerning those who have done nothing to offend them, and are so far removed from them by rank in life or distance of place, that they are very unlikely to be the objects of their envy.
Some persons may flatter themselves they can build their own fame upon the ruin of that of others; and may think their own good qualities will shine with superior lustre, if those of their friends are thrown into the shade. This kind of artifice does not always gain its end.
