Turn to Burton, and you will find the following passage:--

"And, as Praxiteles did by his glass, when he saw a scurvy face in

it, brake it to pieces, but for that one, he saw many more as bad

in a moment."--Part 2. sect. 3. mem. 7.

I am uncharitable enough to believe that _Childe Harold_ owes far more

to Burton, than to "the unaccountable and incomprehensible power of

association."
