 This synthesis is pure when the diversity is not given empirically but a priori (as that in space and time). But as grief is here supposed to be the predominant passion, every addition falls to that side, and is swallowed up in it, without operating in the least upon the contrary affection. You are, therefore, naturally carried to commit acts of injustice as well as me. If any one think proper to refute this assertion, he need not put himself to the trouble of inventing any long reasonings: but may at once shew us an instance of a cause, where we discover the power or operating principle.  Having thus explained the origin of that praise and approbation, which attends every thing we call great in human affections; we now proceed to give an account of their goodness, and shew whence its merit is derived. Or better still assit to provide an alternative arrangement.
