_Unique_ in its way, strongly embodying the name in its _form_. This Hat
is particularly recommended to gentlemen (and many are to be found) who
hold their understandings libelled by acting, thinking, speaking, or
dressing like _other men_; but, it must be observed, that slender
persons with _dark_ countenances, and about the middle size, best become
these Hats: for, however eccentric a man would wish to appear, by
adopting any _peculiar_ mode of dress, he never can hope to succeed
unless nature has done a _little_ for him; it follows then of course,
that a tall or short man, if he be stout and well grown, with a fine
open florid countenance, cannot cleverly become an _Eccentric_; but an
_agreeable_ contorsion of the eye, a trifling disagreement in the
symmetry of the shoulders, or a slight _bias_ of the body _right_ or
_left_, are indescribable advantages in giving full effect to this Hat,
which may be worn a little on one side, with a gentle inclination over
the eyes, unless they are playing at cross purposes, in the event of
which it must be thrown quite back, to give effect to their _playful
humour_.
