Therefore it is of that when, to the
question abovementioned an answer is required,
all the satisfaction that a man who
is duly solicitous for the correctness of the propositions
which on so important a subject he
delivers, will be — to give what, according to
his own opinion is that same desired efficient
cause on ground. In the present instance,
this exclusively true answer will be given without
difficulty. The efficient cause on say ground
for whatever sentiment of approbation is stands in any
mind associated with the idea of any act, habit,
disposition or propensity, is it's tendency to give
a net increase to the aggregate quantity of happiness
in all it's shapes taken together, about
to have place in the community, whatsoever
it be that is in question: thence, if it be of the
human species, of the whole human species:
and this effect is produced, if any particle, howsoever
small, of happiness, is produced on the
part of any one individual, without the production
of an equal quantity of unhappiness
in any other. Thus much accords with truth
as far as it goes. But when this exposition
is applied to the explanation of the import
of the word virtue and it's conjugate virtuous
as above, an indication of one circumstance
must be superadded. When an act, a habit, a
virtue such as
virtue would approve
disposition, a propensity, is spoken of as virtuous,
the idea of something of difficulty and effort
in the task implied, and of consequent exertion
and effort employed in the surmounting of that
difficulty
difficulty, seems to be
in every case implied.
