Thus we find an analogy and a connection 
formed, between the pleafures of tafte, and the 
fenfe of morality. The fame principle of pro¬ 
priety, which leads us to the difcovery of what 
is beautiful and pleafing to the mind, when 
Applied to the heart, will help us to find, what 
is virtuous, what is honeft, and what conftitutes 
the true pleafure arifing from its emotions. 
What I have attempted to illuftrate, may then 
be carried farther, and we may pronounce, 
that, as there is a pleafure inherent in whatever 
exercifes the mind, without fatiguing it, fo there 
is a pleafing fenfation annexed to every emotion 
of the heart, that is not poifoned by fear, hatred, 
envy, revenge, and fuch other irregular and dif- 
orderly pafiions.
