Right
What does "the right" mean?
Context;
Whoever has so far formed his taste, as to be able to relish and feel the beauties of the great masters, has gone a great way in his study; merely from a conscientiousness of his relish of [size=18]the right[/size], the mind swells with an inward pride, and is almost as powerfully affected, as if it had itself produced what it admired. Our hearts , frequently warmed in this manner by the contact of those whom we wish to resemble, will undoubtedly catch something of their way of thinking; and we shall receive in our own bosoms some radiation at least of their fire and splendour. That disposition, which is so strong in children, still continues with us, of catching involuntarily the general air and manner of those with whom we are most conversant.

'Conscientiousness' should probably be 'consciousness' in this extract.

The author wishes to say the words 'the right' in bold where you see Text goes here or in font size 18 with the use of the size tag. This is HTML usage and if text is copied from a website and pasted to a editor that does not support HTML (like notepad), the HTML code is written as it is; and hence the problem.
I am having to write the tags in square brackets instead of the reg
