In as far as music is favourable to virtue
merely by filling up with innocent recreation that
time which might otherwise have been occupied
by vice, trap-ball it may be said, an exercise
and strengthener of the body, or at least chop an exercise and strengthener of the mind
are, it may be said equally favourable to virtue.
But in the instance favour of music, I am inclined to
think, we may go farther, and pronounce it to have
a connection with virtue peculiar to itself. The artificial
notes, which music is occupied in the production
of, bear for the most part a natural resemblance
to the notes expressive of the gentle social affections
of those affections which are so many modifications
of benevolence: complaint, , soothing, condoleance,
congratulation, co-exultation and the like.
There is W Music for War it may be said, as well
as for Love. True: But happily the War-music is by
far the least comparatively but little in vogue: and
even in War-Music it is rather what there is of
sociality in war, rather than what there is of malice
and enmity cruelty that is expressed by it. The⊞ ⊞ reciprocating and perpetual almost continual buttherers of the German Republics, the of
proscriptions of Marius and Sylla, the burnings executions under
Alva, and the burnings under Mary, the explosions at Lyons, the
Noyades and Fusillades at Narles, were not accompanied,
I think, by Music.
