AN

ETHICAL TREATISE

ON THE

PASSIONS.

FOUNDED ON THE PRINCIPLES INVESTIGATED IN THE

PHILOSOPHICAL TREATISE.

BY T. COGAN, M. D.

"The variety of the Passions is great, and worthy in every branch of
that variety of an attentive investigation. The more accurately we
search into the human mind, the stronger traces we every where find
of His wisdom who made it."

Burke on the Sublime and Beautiful.

PREFACE.

IN the preceding volume on

the subject of the Passions, an attempt was made to investigate their origin, exciting causes, specific objects, classifications, divisions, subdivisions, connections, various kinds and degrees of influence, &c. The Author flatters himself that, in the course of these investigations, some interesting facts have been brought to light; and that the existence of much greater order and consistency is become obvious, than could possibly have been imagined, by those whose principal attention has been directed to the excentricities, or who have suffered by the violence of the passions.
