had no tendency to produce those virtues of patience, courage

The wifdoiti ot nations has observed, that the general attention
paid to bnth, produced a diffeicnt kind of sentiments ; those ot a
pride in the maxims and principles in religion, morals and go
vernment, as well as in ihe talents and virtues which firft produ
ced illuftrarion to ancestors.
As the pride of wealth produced nothing but meanness of fen
tim. Nt, and a fordid scramble for monev ; and the pride of birth
produced forne degree of emulation in knowledge and virtue
tie wisdom of nations has endea ored to employ one prejudice
