WHAT IS THE CHILD'S MORAL VIRTUE? 137 216. From these observations follows the singular conse- quence that the child who, in his animal life, acts wholly subjectively, begins with his human life to act on objective motives, long before either his intellect or his will has learnt to recognize and love that which is subjective, that which can be referred to himself. For his infant intelligence does not see those same sensible things which properly belong to the subject, as such, but contemplates ...and loves and hates them as so many objects. Hence, it has been justly observed that children show an admirable disinterestedness in things which they do under the influence of pleasure and pain ; and it is the error of those who are incapable of observing human nature to assert that self-love is tlie first of the affections to manifest itself.^ The authoress we have so often quoted says, with delicate observation, that the child "too deficient in fore- thought to let himself be the slave of his wants, has the mania and sometimes the pride of independence, and though he receives everything at our hands, his affection yet wears an air of disinterestedness." 217.
