When our fancy considers directly the sentiments of others, and enters deep into them, it makes us sensible of all the passions it surveys, but in a particular manner of grief or sorrow.

On the contrary, when we compare the sentiments of others to our own, we feel a sensation directly opposite to the original one, viz.

a joy from the grief of others, and a grief from their joy.

But these are only the first foundations of the affections of pity and malice.

Other passions are afterwards confounded with them.
