Excerpt from The Genius of Henry Fielding: With Selections From His Works, Introduction and Notes His be just in what is odious and blame able, it is more strongly so in what is amiable and praiseworthy. While chil dren are now-a-days taught affirmatively by good example, many renowned writers of the past used to employ the negative method of reproving evil by force of bad example - by setting forth immoral acts and evil Situations in their worst phases and illustrating their inevitably bad consequences. There is no reason why the former of these two principles should be adopted to the exclusion of the latter, for in equal measure as we should learn to accomplish what is noble and praise worthy, we should learn to avoid what is ignoble and blameworthy.
