Excerpt from Essays on the Nature and Principles of Taste Taste is that Faculty of the human Mind, by which we perceive and enjoy, whatever is Beautiful or Sublime in the works of Nature or Art. The perception of these Qualities is attended with an Emotion of Pleasure, very distinguishable from every other pleasure of our Nature, and which is accordingly distinguished by the name of the Emotion of Taste. The distinction of the objects of Taste into the Sublime and the Beautiful, has produced a similar division of this Emotion, into the Emotion of Sublimity, and the Emotion of Beauty. The Qualities that produce these Emotions, are to be found in almost every class of the objects of human knowledge, and the Emotions themselves afford one of the most extensive sources of human delight. They occur to us, amid every variety of External Scenery, and among many diversities of disposition and affection in the Mind of Man.
