In them d by Google [ 94 ] (besides greatness and beauty, or forms proper to the Imagination) we find interwoven frequent representa- tions of truth, of virtue and vice, of circumstances proper to move us with laughter, or to excite in us pity, fear, and the other passions. These moral and intellectual objects are described in the Second Book, to which the Third properly belongs as an episode, though too large to have been included in it. With the above-mentioned causes of Pleasure, which are u...niversal in the course of human life, and appertain to our higher faculties, many others do ge- nerally occur, more limited in their operation, or of an inferior origin ; such are the novelty of objects, the association of ideas, affections of the bodily senses, influences of education, natural habits, and the like. To illustrate these, and from the whole to determine the character of a perfect taste, is the argument, of the Fourth Book. Hitherto the Pleasures of the Imagination belong to the human species in general ; but there are certain particular men whose Imagination is endowed with powers, and susceptible of pleasure, which the gene- rality of mankind never participate : these are the men of genius, destined by Nature to excel in one op other of the arts already mentioned.
