Excerpt from The Gentleman
The word gentleman recurs four hundred and fifty-two times in Shakspeare, - an iteration which proves, broad acknowledgment in that day of the thing signified. For every ten utterances, through type or speech, of this magnetic word in the sixteenth century, there are ten thousand in the nineteenth. During these three centuries, it has spread over new continents, with the prolific expansive British race, its growth outstripping a hundred fold even that of population.
