It Within these limits it is an act of effective benevolence to give to deserving
conduct its full meed of approbation.
The effect of praise is to dispose to imitation – &
you as effectually elevate the standard of morals
by encouraging virtue – as by exposing or reprobating
vice. The immediate recognition of the merits of an
act of efficient benevolence, will have the advantage
of helping to place it by prompt decision at once in the regions
of public approval. The value of the praise will
be heightened by its promptitude – a promptitude
which will at take the character of generosity.
In cases where an action obviously beneficial
to mankind – is left by the want of courage
on the part of others – floating in the regions of
uncertainty, – do what it depends upon you, within
the pale of prudence – to give it the benefit & sanction of your
approbation favorable opinion.
