"The work of which this volume is an abridgment, is well known as one
of the best and most complete works on Moral Philosophy extant. The
author is well known as one of the most profound scholars of the age.
That the study of Moral Science, a science which teaches goodness,
should be a branch of education, not only in our colleges, but in our
schools and academies, we believe will not be denied. The abridgment
of this work seems to us admirably calculated for the purpose, and we
hope it will be extensively applied to the purposes for which it is
intended."--_The Mercantile Journal._
"We hail the abridgment as admirably adapted to supply the deficiency
which has long been felt in common school education,--the study of
moral obligation. Let the child early be taught the relations it
sustains to man and to its Maker, the first acquainting it with the
duties owed to society, the second with the duties owed to God, and
who can foretell how many a sad and disastrous overthrow of character
will be prevented, and how elevated and pure will be the sense of
integrity and virtue?"--_Evening Gazette._

=ELEMENTS OF POLITICAL ECONOMY=, By Francis Wayland, D.D., President
of Brown University. Fifteenth Thousand. 12mo. cloth. Price $1.25
"His object has been to write a book, which any one who chooses
may understand. He has, therefore, labored to express the general
principles in the plainest manner possible, and to illustrate them
by cases with which every person is familiar. It has been to the
author a source of regret, that the course of discussion in the
following pages, has, unavoidably, led him over ground which has
frequently been the arena of political controversy. In all such
cases, he has endeavored to state what seemed to him to be truth,
without fear, favor, or affection. He is conscious to himself of no
bias towards any party whatever, and he thinks that he who will read
the whole work, will be convinced that he has been influenced by
none."--_Extract from the Preface._

∵ The success which has attended the abridgment of "The Elements
of Moral Science" has induced the author to prepare an abridgment
of this work. In this case, as in the other, the work has been
wholly re-written, and an attempt has been made to adapt it to the
attainments of youth.
