Qualitative  (2)  Qualitative  feelings. — They  are  classified,
feelings,  according  to  the  relation  of  their  contents  to  truth,
beauty,  morality,  or  religion,  as  intellectual,  sesthetic,  moral,  or
religious.  As  an  illustration  of  Herbart's  theory  applied  to
sympathy,  a  qualitative  feeling  belonging  to  the  moral  group,
take  the  following.  In  the  Tale  of  Two  Cities,  Darnay,  the
husband  of  Lucie,  is  brought  before  the  revolutionary  tribunal
and  condemned  to  death.  Sidney  Carton,  who  loved  and  still
loves  Lucie,  ponders  over  Darnay's  almost  certain  death  and
the  grief  Lucie  will  feel  at  the  loss  of  her  beloved  husband.
Thereby  the  group  of  ideas  connected  with  his  own  loss  of
Lucie  is  vividly  reproduced  in  Carton's  consciousness,  and  with
it  the  feeling  of  grief  which  accompanied  that  loss.  At  this
stage  his  feeling  of  grief  is  identical  with,  or  at  least  similar  to,
that  which  Lucie  would  feel  were  her  husband  guillotined,  for
both  spring  from  the  same  source — the  loss  of  a  beloved  object
— and  he  understands  the  grief  Lucie  would  feel.  He  feels,
through  the  reproduction  of  his  own  loss,  the  loss  of  another.
