    “ Not only does this vice betray the hidden faults of a man, and show them in the most odious colours, hut often occasions faults to which lie is not naturally sub- ject. Wine tln-ows a man out of himself, and infuses qualities into the mind which she is a stranger to in her sober moments. The well known maxim “ in vino veritas,’ therefore, though very generally true, is to be received with some restrictions, although these, I am satisfied, are not by any means so numerous as many authors would have us to believe.
