The following may be used: But if the success be on our side, our commander has all the opposite good qualities, and is a pattern of virtue, as well as of courage and conduct. Thus animals have little or no sense of virtue or vice; they quickly lose sight of the relations of blood; and are incapable of that of right and property: For which reason the causes of their pride and humility must lie solely in the body, and can never be placed either in the mind or external objects. For these reasons the former qualities are esteemed virtues, and the latter regarded as vices. A virtuous motive, therefore, must precede the regard to the virtue, and it is impossible, that the virtuous motive and the regard to the virtue can be the same. vice and virtue must consist in some relations; since it is allowed on all hands, that no matter of fact is capable of being demonstrated. It is the same case, if justice, according to the system of certain philosophers, should be esteemed an artificial and not a natural virtue. 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.
