Overview

Excerpt from Moral Philosophy: Or the Duties of Man, Considered in His Individual, Domestic, Social, and Religious Capacities In twenty lectures, addressed to such an audience, only a small portion of a very extensive field of science could be touched upon. It was necessary also to avoid as much as possible abstract and speculative questions, and to dwell chiefly on topics simple, interesting, and practically useful. These circumstances account for the introduction of many local topics of illustration, and of such subjects as Suretyship, Arbitration, Guardianship, and some others, not usually treated of in works on Moral Philosophy and also for the occasional omission of that rigid application of the principles on which the work is founded to the case of every duty, which would have been necessary in a purely scientific treatise. These principles, however, although not always stated, are never intentionally departed from. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
