This view of the matter leads me to suspect that they who plead for self love as a useful principle, as consisting in a person's wish- ing his own highest ])ossible happiness, and as distinct from universal benevolence, do really mean that regard to our particular interest which is necessarily included in universal benevolence ; and which I mean by disinterested, benevolent affection; and that the difference is only in words, and if we could understand each other, we should be agreed. To lireve...nt mistakes of this kind, I endeavored to explain what I meant )^y 13 self love, and opposite disinterested affection, in my inquiry concerning the nature of true holiness (Sec. III. , IV. ) But perhaps have not dis- tinguished with sufficient clearness, and therefore have not been under- stood.
