QUESTION 135

OF MEANNESS*

(In Two Articles)

[*"Parvificentia," or doing mean things, just as "magnificentia" is

doing great things.]

We must now consider the vices opposed to magnificence: under which

head there are two points of inquiry:

(1) Whether meanness is a vice?

(2) Of the vice opposed to it.
