) 416. Kesentment was distinguished (§ 154) into Instinctive and Deliberate ; the latter of which, it was observed, (§ 155, ) has always a reference to the motives of the person against whom it is directed, and implies a sense of justice, or of moral good and evil. 417. In some men the animal or instinctive impulse is stronger than in others. Where this is the case, or where proper care has not been taken in early education to bring it under restraint, a quick or irascible temper is the necessa...ry consequence. It is a fault frequently observable in affectionate and generous characters ; and impairs their happiness, not so much by the effects it produces on their minds, as by the eventual misfortunes to which it exposes them. 418. When the animal resentment does not immediately subside, it must be supported by an opinion of bad intention in its object : and, consequently, when this happens to an indi- vidual so habitually as to be characteristical of his temper, it indicates a disposition on his part to put unfavourable con- structions on the actions of others.
