A certain person attempted to collect prints of all the capital paintings, and succeeded except as to a tew. La Bruyere remarks, that an anxious search was made for these ; not for their value, but to complete the set. * 257. The final cause of the propensity is an additional proof of its existence : human works are of no significancy till they be com- pleted ; and reason is not always a sufficient counterbalance to indolence : some pr nciple over and above is necessary, to excite our industry,... and to prevent our stopping short in the middle of the course.
* The examples above given, are of things that can be carried to an end or conclusion. But the same uneasiness is perceptible with respect to things that admit not any conclusion : witness a series that has no end, commonly called an infinite series. The mind moving along such a series, begins aoon to fee. An uneasiness, which becomes more and more sensible, in continuing its pro- gress without hope of an end.
256. How poets and orators magnify a known object ; how they depress it Surprise, not the only cause of the effect which any unusual resemblance or dissimilitude has \ipou Ui uilud.
