Preface

It is not presumed that this Volume contains rules for every
probable case or possible case contingency in which the inquirer may seek for the
application of the Deontological law Code. But the principles being
laid down & so many incidents offered for their explanation &
illustration, the reader may be safely left for himself to gather
together such events circumstances as his observation may furnish, in order to
submit them to those tests whi with which he is here supplied. In doing
this he will forward the views of that wise & benevolent Philosopher to
whom these pages owe their birth. 'I hope' he says in one of his
Memoranda – 'that the experience case of others – calling in the
'experience of their friends & acquaintances – will record all those
"cases which demand the application of the sound principles of
"morality – that they will solve them by right rules – &
"give the reasons for the solution". Observation, he was accustomed
to say, would be ere long condense the Marrow of Morality into a few simple
rules – that would be become the Vade Mecum of every body – & be
ready on every occasion to apply to every demand. They will
be pasted he remarked on the back of an Almanac – which now loses part of
its value every day – & soon becomes is rendered worthless by the lapse of time – while the
Moral side while recording principles that are immutable will remain as fresh, – as true, – as useful as
ever.
