+On JEALOUSY.+
Of all the passions which disturb the human mind, there is none more
pernicious in its quality, or more dreadful in its consequences, than
that of jealousy: it is looked upon, indeed, as the most certain proof
of a strong and violent affection; yet it is such a proof as no one
would wish to experience, since the beloved object is the greatest
sufferer of the parties, by having to partake with his own, under
conscious innocence, a large share in the unmerited sufferings of
others.
