Excerpt from Memorial of the Family of Forsyth De Fronsac Nobilities, on the other hand, are not formed by Nature. But are recognitions, by man and his government, of aristocratic products. Nobility and aristocracy are not always the same, yet they are related. An aristocracy does not exist in vigor without producing a nobility, and a nobility, even though at first formed of unaristocratic products, if continued in a proper manner, makes itself respectable and conservative. Of aristocracy, though containing different elements, there is but one description. It is an organic body, in a community, bred to eminence and renown by many generations of honor able career and exalted position.
