Hume's Virtues

Every Virtue is a moral quality in contradistinction
to an intellectual: & a quality that belongs to the
, not to the intellectual department of the
human frame: except in so far a quality that is
the result of the exercise given to the will, not of the state
and condition of the understanding: except in so far
as the beneficent state of the understanding, is itself
the result of exercise given to the will: but then is a case
of the will or exercise given to the will; acting through the medium of the understanding.

Thus Hume's desirable qualities may be
distinguished and grouped as follows. into the cases following

I. Case 1. The quality a quality not of belonging to the will, but
of to the understanding

II. The quality, a quality of the will, but neither a
virtue nor a vice exclusively — but neither a virtue
or a vice, according to the application or perhaps an indifferent or say neutral quality made of it:
according to the object to the whether beneficent or maleficent,
to the production of which it is directed

III. The quality virtuous in every case, but belonging
to one or more of J. B.'s 4 classes according to the
application made of it

IV. The quality, virtuous in every case, and belonging
to one or other of J. B's four classes: being a particular
modification of the generic quality in question
