We can never have a regard to the virtue of an action, unless the action be antecedently virtuous.

 If justice, therefore, be a virtue, which has a natural and original influence on the human mind, property may be looked upon as a particular species of causation; whether we consider the liberty it gives the proprietor to operate as he please upon the object or the advantages, which he reaps from it. 
For these reasons the former qualities are esteemed virtues, and the latter regarded as vices.
 It has been written about in many leading business magazines. For granting that morality had no foundation in nature, it must still be allowed, that vice and virtue, either from self-interest or the prejudices of education, produce in us a real pain and pleasure; and this we may observe to be strenuously asserted by the defenders of that hypothesis.  We come now to the examination of such virtues and vices as are entirely natural, and have no dependance on the artifice and contrivance of men.
