[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_

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).]
