[112] We are irresistibly reminded, in this connexion, of the reputed higher morality of age as compared with youth, of which La Rochefoucauld says (Maxim 192): ”When our vices leave us, we flatter ourselves that it is we who leave them.”--TRANSLATOR'S NOTE.

[113] Esquirol refers to this in his great work on Mental Disorders.

[115] The custom of taking in a man as a night-lodger in crowded working-cla.s.s tenements appears, unhappily, to be commoner in the large towns of Germany and Austria than it is in this country.

See, for instance, Adelheid Popp's _Jugendgeschichte einer Arbeiterin_ (3rd ed., Reinhardt, Munich, 1910, pp. 19, 20). But such lodgers are by no means unknown in the overcrowded quarters of English towns.--TRANSLATOR'S NOTE.

[117] Compare George Meredith on the male egoist's demand for ”innocence” (_The Egoist_, p. 105): ”The capaciously strong soul among women will ultimately detect an infinite grossness in the demand for purity infinite, spotless bloom.” The frequency with which young widows remarry suggests that the demand for _”innocence”_ in women is largely ”a result of conventional opinions.”--TRANSLATOR'S NOTE.
