The uneasiness and satisfaction are not only inseparable from vice and virtue, but constitute their very nature and essence. Several moralists have recommended it as an excellent method of becoming acquainted with our own hearts, and knowing our progress in virtue, to recollect our dreams in a morning, and examine them with the same rigour, that we would our most serious and most deliberate actions. We fancy Ourselves more happy, as well as more virtuous or beautiful, when we appear so to others; but are still more ostentatious of our virtues than of our pleasures. In virtue of its intelligible character, on the other hand (although we possess only a general conception of this character), the subject must be regarded as free from all sensuous influences, and from all phenomenal determination. The virtue and vice must be part of our character in order to excite pride or humility. As to the good or ill desert of virtue or vice, it is an evident consequence of the sentiments of pleasure or uneasiness.
