Next  to  the  general  passion  we  have  for  society,  to
a  choice  in  which  we  are  directed  by  the  pleasure  we
have  in  the  object,  the  particular  passion  under  this
head  called  sympathy  has  the  greatest  extent.  The
nature  of  this  passion  is,  to  put  us  in  the  place  of  an-
other in  whatever  circumstance  he  is  in,  and  to  affect
us  in  a  like  manner ;  so  that  this  passion  may,  as  the
occasion  requires,  turn  either  on  pain  or  pleasure;
but  with  the  modifications  mentioned  in  some  cases
in  Sect.  11.  As  to  imitation  and  preference,  nothing
more  need  be  said.
