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.

 That faculty of the soul, which, of all others, is of the least consequence to the character, and has the least virtue or vice in its several degrees, at the same time, that it admits of a great variety of degrees, is the memory. For these reasons the former qualities are esteemed virtues, and the latter regarded as vices. Why we annex the idea of virtue to justice, and of vice to injustice. The very essence of virtue, according to this hypothesis, is to produce pleasure and that of vice to give pain. Why we annex the idea of virtue to justice, and of vice to injustice. In saying, then, that the sentiments of vice and virtue are natural in this sense, we make no very extraordinary discovery.
