A fit of the gout produces a long train of passions, as grief, hope, fear; but is not derived immediately from any affection or idea.

The reflective impressions may be divided into two kinds, viz.

the calm and the VIOLENT.

Of the first kind is the sense of beauty and deformity in action, composition, and external objects.

Of the second are the passions of love and hatred, grief and joy, pride and humility.
