A well-proportioned Hat in every respect, and may, not inaptly, be
termed the _Universal_, as it becomes most persons who wear it; in point
of form, there is nothing of what may be called _character_ or
_singularity_ in its appearance, and has the rare property of giving to
the _wearer_ a sort of dignified affability, a courteous condescension,
together with an agreeable modesty, at least in _appearance_. It is
named after a certain nobleman, who has all the above qualities united,
although in the _prime of life_. To show to advantage on the head, this
Hat should not go lower than the tip of the ears, both of which it may
barely touch, unless the wearer has a short neck, in that case it must
be worn somewhat aside, touching one ear only, but by no means to be
_thrown back_.
