A colonial era essay argues honesty holds value even among flawed people, condemning flattery as cowardly and slander as harmful. It cites Mrs. Henry Wood and Croesus to illustrate vanity and lays out seven Shakespearean modes of truthful speech, with examples of Retort Courteous, Quip Modest, Reply Churlish, and Reproof Valiant.

Danish King Frederick VI Tests School Questioning
While travelling, King Frederick VI visits a village school where pupils fail to answer his questions. A girl boldly names Canute Waktemar and Christian IV as great kings, then hesitates on Frederick VI. The king kindly prompts her to guess another act he did, and she recounts a truthful, unflustered answer.
