Now, as a like uncertainty and variety of causes take place, even in natural objects, and produce a like error in our judgment, if that tendency to produce error were the very essence of vice and immorality, it should follow, that even inanimate objects might be vicious and immoral.

 Thus we are still brought back to our first position, that virtue is distinguished by the pleasure, and vice by the pain, that any action, sentiment or character gives us by the mere view and contemplation. Suppose, that instead of the virtue or vice of a son or brother, which causes first love or hatred, and afterwards pride or humility, we place these good or bad qualities on ourselves, without any immediate connexion with the person, who is related to us: Experience shews us, that by this change of situation the whole chain is broke, and that the mind is not conveyed from one passion to another, as in the preceding instance. 1) PAY A SHORT WORKING DAY VISIT TO AMSTERDAM THE NETHERLANDS SO THAT WE SEE FACE TO FACE, HAVE A TABLE TALK THAT WOULD CREATE CONFIDENCE IN ME THAT THE FUND WOULD BE SAFE IN YOUR HANDS AND HAVE AN AGREEMENT FROM A ADVOCATE, WHICH WILL BE DULY AND LEGALLY SIGN IN HIS CHAMBERS BEFORE TAKEN ANY STEP IN THIS TRANSACTION. The discussion of this question will be more proper, when we enter upon an exact detail of each particular vice and virtue. In saying, then, that the sentiments of vice and virtue are natural in this sense, we make no very extraordinary discovery. Now virtue and vice are attended with these circumstances. To which we may add, that this agreement or disagreement, not admitting of degrees, all virtues and vices would of course be equal.
