Pagina 5 - Pity and compassion are words appropriated to signify our fellow-feeling with the sorrow of others. Sympathy, though its meaning was, perhaps, originally the same, may now, however, without much impropriety, be made use of to denote our fellowfeeling with any passion whatever.
Pagina xxxix - I shall inform you of a few that have come to my knowledge. I believe I have mentioned to you already Helvetius's book de I' Esprit. It is worth your reading, not for its philosophy, which I do not highly value, but for its agreeable composition.
