2 [Pope, Essay on Man, IV, l. 310.]

3 [Lawrence Sterne had published A Sentimental Journey in 1768.]

4 [Beattie is perhaps alluding to Hume’s claim that justice and other virtues are ‘artificial’ rather than ‘natural’: see A Treatise of Human Nature, Book III, Part ii.]

5 [In an earlier part of the Elements of Moral Science, Beattie divides sensation into ‘primary’ and ‘secondary’: for example, a primary sense tells us what shape and colour an object is; a secondary sense tells us whether or not the object is beautiful.]
