For example, that by those acts, habits,
dispositions and propensities, which have
for their effect the preservation of the existence
of the individual, by the introsusception of
nourishment very considerable addition
to the quantity of happiness is produced, and
this on the part of every individual without
exception during at the worst the greatest
part of his life, is what no one assuredly can
entertain a doubt of. Yet to no such acts or
at any rate to no such habits, or dispositions,
or propensities, will he attach the name of
virtuous. These things being premised, and to
the word virtue a tolerably clean as well as
correct and comprehensive idea endeavoured
to be attached, we will next proceed to the
consideration of the different virtues; or,
changing a little the phrase and the image,
we will consider virtue as an aggregate of
all the virtues, and the individual objects contained
in it as divisible into different groupes.
Go on next to the division of virtue into
prudence and effective benevolence.
