[Footnote 1120: Towards the end of the century, on the other hand, there were many churches where kneeling was sufficiently uncommon as almost to call special attention. Thus Admiral Austen was remarked upon as '_the_ officer who kneeled at church' (Jane Austen's _Memoirs_, 23); and C.

Simeon writes in his _Diary_, '1780, March 8. Kneeled down before service; nor do I see any impropriety in it. Why should I be afraid or ashamed of all the world seeing me do my duty?' (_Memoirs_, 19).]
