However, a day dress is never so long and cumbersome as an evening dress with a train.

Indeed, it is fit for armour, to bear off insults, and preserve the wearer in the day of battle; but the danger once repelled, it is laid aside by the brave, as a garment too rough for civil conversation; a necessary guard in war, but too harsh and cumbersome in peace, and which keeps off the embraces of a more humane life.

The distribution, as it stands in either work, is not worth quarrelling about: it is evidently more cumbersome than useful.
