sensibly scarcely aware, no man who is not in discourse and action continually
giving demonstrations of his sensibility being so.
But the misconception is and that a most fruitful one
in practical misconduct and mischief, nobod scarce
any be one by whom the predominance of this principle
in the human frame is not regarded as belonging to the
ordinary and healthful state of the mind[+]: scarce any
[+] just as the having a
head over it is of

one by whom it is regarded in any other character than
that an occasional and morbid symptom, such like as the
appearance of a tumour or an ex: a monstrosity
— of which he recognizes not the existence either
in himself, or in his friends at any rate if they be near

the existence of it in his adversaries: the existence
of it of course, and its magnitude in a proportion governed determined
by the degree of annoyance of which their opposition
to him is productive.
