Nor must we belittle the debt he owes to his predecessors. Much, certainly, he owed to Locke, and the full radiance of the Scottish enlightenment emerges into the day with his teaching. Francis Hutcheson gave him no small inspiration; and Hutcheson means that he was indebted to Shaftesbury.
That is why Shaftesbury, Hutcheson, Hume and Adam Smith to take only men of the first eminence were thinking not less for politics than for ethics when they sought to justify the ways of man to man.
It is, in his view, an emotion, like hope, jealousy, or resentment, rising up on the presentation of a certain class of objects. He farther objects to the phrase 'moral ideas, also used by Hutcheson. The moral emotions are more akin to love and hate, than to perception or judgment. Brown gives an exposition of Practical Ethics under the usual heads: Duties to Others, to God, to Ourselves.
Therefore, then and there, I took a sheet of paper and wrote to my old friend Hutcheson at Leghorn, asking him to make immediate inquiry of Olinto's father as to his son's address in London. I said nothing to the police of that strange adventure of mine over in Lambeth, or of how the man now dead had saved my life.
