Adam Smith moral sentiments
Beginning Ch on Sympathy — shows admirably — (insane person) how sympathy arises from putting ourselves in other's situation.
(quote him instead of Bain)
Mother's care gives it —
p. 9 explains dread of death — But there is instinct of self-presrvtion independent of this imagination
ch. II — sympathy not derived from interest.
(No explanation only sympathy more with loved object)
