As It delights in present­ ing to the mind scenes and characters more' perfect than those which we are acquainted with, it prevents us from ever being completely satlstled with our present condition, or with our past attainments, and engages us continual­ ly in the pursuit of some untried, en­ joyment, or of some ideal excellence.
