To that principle, therefore, we are to ascribe the sentiment of approbation, which arises from the survey of all those virtues, that are useful to society, or to the person possessed of them. should it, therefore, be demanded, whether the sense of virtue be natural or artificial, I am of opinion, that it is impossible for me at present to give any precise answer to this question. In another sense of the word; as no principle of the human mind is more natural than a sense of virtue; so no virtue is more natural than justice. It belongs to Grammarians to examine what qualities are entitled to the denomination of virtue; nor will they find, upon trial, that this is so easy a task, as at first sight they may be apt to imagine. And indeed we may observe, that the natural abilities, no more than the other virtues, produce not, all of them, the same kind of approbation.
