Several moralists have recommended it as an excellent method of becoming acquainted with our own hearts, and knowing our progress in virtue, to recollect our dreams in a morning, and examine them with the same rigour, that we would our most serious and most deliberate actions.

 But can there be any difficulty in proving, that vice and virtue are not matters of fact, whose existence we can infer by reason? Take any action allowed to be vicious: Wilful murder, for instance. Nay, we find, that all moralists, whose judgment is not perverted by a strict adherence to a system, enter into the same way of thinking; and that the antient moralists in particular made no scruple of placing prudence at the head of the cardinal virtues. You know, I'll tell you the truth, this interface is so easy that anyone could do it.  The virtue of a brother must make me love him; as his vice or infamy must excite the contrary passion. At least it must be owned, that heroic virtue, being as unusual, is as little natural as the most brutal barbarity.
