Excerpt from Two Essays: On the Sublime and Beautiful, and on Duelling
It will be found that certain states of external nature excite in the minds which contemplate them the emotions of sublimity and beauty, and are called sublime and beautiful, because they are associated in various ways with sublime and beautiful states of the human mind.
Many glimpses of this truth were seen by Plato and his followers. Dr. Hutcheson had a very vivid, but not a very distinct perception of it. His perception of it was not sufficiently distinct to show him that it pervades the whole subject.

The author argues that our experiences of the sublime and the beautiful are not confined to our inner thoughts but are shaped and influenced by the things we see, hear, and touch. Through a careful analysis of various examples, the author demonstrates how objects can become signs of our deepest feelings, triggering associations and memories that shape our perception of the world.
