  2. T.p. epigraph (2): [“The manners of a people are not to be found in the schools of learning or the palaces of greatness: ... Nor is public happiness to be estimated by the assemblies of the gay, or the banquets of the rich: ... they whose aggregate constitutes a people, are found in the streets and the villages, in the shops and farms: and from them collectively considered, must the measure of general prosperity be taken.” Johnson.]; from Samuel Johnson, A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland (1775), p. 45.
