From the Reflector. Of Man's Happiness. . . [11,
penultimate line-12] Our tastes are various, and produce
good effects in the world. Some are pleased with concords,
others more with discords, in music. some prefer the cry of
a pack of hounds to a concert; as a certain Scythian general
preferred the neighing of a horse to the sound of a trumpet.
Those things suit every man best, which is most agreeable to
him. Whatever is good or bad for us, in our own estimation,
and experience, is good or bad in reality. . . [2 more
paras.]
