1851, vol. i. p. 225.]
1318 (return) [ Burgess, ibid. p. 31. On mulattoes blushing, see p. 33.
I have received similar accounts with respect to, mulattoes.]
1319 (return) [ Barrington also says that the Australians of New South
Wales blush, as quoted by Waitz, ibid. p. 135.]
1320 (return) [ Mr. Wedgwood says (Dict. of English Etymology, vol.
iii. 1865, p. 155) that the word shame may well originate in the idea
of shade or concealment, and may be illustrated by the Low German
_scheme_, shade or shadow. Gratiolet (De la Phys. pp. 357-362) has a
good discussion on the gestures accompanying shame; but some of his
remarks seem to me rather fanciful. See, also, Burgess (ibid. pp. 69,
134) on the same subject.]
1321 (return) [ Burgess, ibid. pp. 181, 182. Boerhaave also noticed (as
quoted by Gratiolet, ibid. p. 361) the tendency to the secretion of
tears during intense blushing. Mr. Bulmer, as we have seen, speaks of
the watery eyes of the children of the Australian aborigines when
ashamed.]

remarks on the shyness of manners which is induced between the
sexes.... from the influence of mutual regard, by the apprehension on
either side of not standing well with the other. ]
