Abstract
This chapter considers friendship. Humans are not born to be a solitary creature, but to be a member of society is under an inevitable necessity of communicating, not only the actions of his life, but the secrets of his heart, with others of the same nature with himself. This reciprocal dependence which one man has upon another, besides the natural inclination which things of the same kind have to associate together, begets familiarity and confidence, which by frequent exercise, and mutual offices, at length creates a certain kind of alliance, and grows into that union of affections which we call friendship.
