Abstract
Of all the passions of which the human heart is susceptible, there is none which possesses so striking a character as the love of glory. The traces of its operations may be discovered in the primitive nature of man, but it is only in the midst of society that this sentiment acquires its true force. In order to deserve the name of passion, it must absorb all the other affections of the soul; and its pleasures, as well as its pains, result only from the entire development of its power. At present, it is to glory itself, that is, to that which is truly just and great, that I intend at present to direct my enquiries; and, in order to determine its influence upon happiness, I shall not hesitate to display it in all the seducing brilliancy of its charms.
