PART I OF VIRTUE AND VICE IN GENERAL It is a general remark, that those we call good women's men, who have either signalized themselves by their amorous exploits, or whose make of body promises any extraordinary vigour of that kind, are well received by the fair sex, and naturally engage the affections even of those, whose virtue prevents any design of ever giving employment to those talents. At least it must be owned, that heroic virtue, being as unusual, is as little natural as the most brutal barbarity. In like manner we always consider the natural and usual force of the passions, when we determine concerning vice and virtue; and if the passions depart very much from the common measures on either side, they are always disapproved as vicious. As to the good or ill desert of virtue or vice, it is an evident consequence of the sentiments of pleasure or uneasiness.
