Generation, in the human race as well as among the irrational animals, depends on so many accidents--of occasion, of proper sustenance, of the laws enacted by the government of a country of vice even, that it is difficult to believe in the eternal existence of a being whose life has begun under circumstances so mean and trivial, and so entirely dependent upon our own control.

 That is no longer true, thanks to personal computers, increased phone services, fax machines, and the Internet, it is no longer necessary to live in close proximity to Big Business.  We come now to the examination of such virtues and vices as are entirely natural, and have no dependance on the artifice and contrivance of men. A very play or romance may afford us instances of this pleasure, which virtue conveys to us; and pain, which arises from vice. In saying, then, that the sentiments of vice and virtue are natural in this sense, we make no very extraordinary discovery.
