He then may be most properly denominated Brave who is fearless in

respect of honourable death and such sudden emergencies as

threaten death; now such specially are those which arise in the

course of war.

It is not meant but that the Brave man will be fearless also on

the sea (and in sickness), but not in the same way as sea-faring

men; for these are light-hearted and hopeful by reason of their

experience, while landsmen though Brave are apt to give

themselves up for lost and shudder at the notion of such a death:

to which it should be added that Courage is exerted in

circumstances which admit of doing something to help one's self,

or in which death would be honourable; now neither of these

requisites attach to destruction by drowning or sickness.
