236 TRAVELS Ps
where morals have become the victim of {elfifh and corrupt paf-
fions. It is the traveller, who, conftantly carrying about with him
his ideas of civilization (which is often only a different name for a
fyftem of refined felfifhnefs), introduces his degraded notions into
the bofom of a fimple people, obliging from inftin@, and gene-
rous and beneficent from nature. We for ever confider it as in-
cumbent upon us to reward every little attention with money;
and knowing no gratification equal to that of receiving pecuniary
acknowledgment, we render the pureft pleafures of our nature
venal by the recompences we beftow, and corrupt and debafe, by
views of intereft, that fenfe of duty which is cherifhed by a fenti-
ment of pleafure, and enjoyed by every moral heart upon perform-
ing a good action to his fellow men.
