Oftentimes the hard rock was their only bed; loveleia they willingly embraced nakedness, and hunger, and cold, to console their afflicted brethren. Here the object, which is denominated beautiful, pleases only by its tendency to produce a certain effect. First, It is obvious, that in reasonings of this kind, it is not the object presented to us, which, considered in itself, affords us any reason to draw a conclusion concerning any other object or event.
