PART III OF THE OTHER VIRTUES AND VICES As to the good or ill desert of virtue or vice, it is an evident consequence of the sentiments of pleasure or uneasiness. In giving a reason, therefore, for the pleasure or uneasiness, we sufficiently explain the vice or virtue. Why we annex the idea of virtue to justice, and of vice to injustice. The virtue or vice of a son or brother not only excites love or hatred, but by a new transition, from similar causes, gives rise to pride or humility. Where the justice is entire, the property is also entire: Where the justice is imperfect, the property must also be imperfect And vice versa, if the property admit of no such variations, they must also be incompatible with justice. The passions do not always follow our corrections; but these corrections serve sufficiently to regulate our abstract notions, and are alone regarded, when we pronounce in general concerning the degrees of vice and virtue.
