Excerpt from Literary Recreations The love of praise is so generally prevalent, that without fear of contradiction, it may be regarded as a common principle, inherent in human nature, because it seems inseparable from self-love. This passion, has rendered some men as conspicuous for their crimes, as it has others, for their virtues. It has produced princes and generals, who have done the work of demons, in order to obtain the name of heroes; and it has also given birth to the systems of the legislator, and to the eloquence of the orator.
