Pride and Vanity

For practical purposes What, in regard to each pride, is on each occasion wanted; is —
to know whether they are it is of the nature of Virtue or of the nature
of Vice. If of the nature of Virtue, it will be referable either
to the head of Prudence or to the head of Benevolence (including
Beneficence. If of the nature of Vice, it will be referable either
to the head of Imprudence, or to the head of Maleficence.
And so, in regard to Vanity.

And thus, and for the first time we shall find clear ideas
to attach to these appellations which are in such constant
use, which every day in the year are in the mouth of every
body.

If pride be a modification of the desire of esteem, then
circumstances description of it shews of itself that it can not but be of
whether in any given instance it be or be not of the nature
of Virtue, instances there can not but be in which it is
of the nature of Vice. Why? Because though the dictates in most points for the most part
of the popular or moral sanction at least in
a country enclosed as Britain Europe in general is coincide with those of
the principle of utility, yet, as yet, in no country
do they in all points.
