CONSCIENCE & FANATICISM
AN ESSAY ON MORAL VALUES
GEORGE PITT-RIVERS
Æquam memento servare mentem
LONDON: WILLIAM HEINEMANN
London: William Heinemann, 1919
In presenting this little volume to the public I am fully conscious of my presumption in introducing my personal views in a region where many hundreds of better qualified writers have devoted their best efforts. Since, however, no apology can justify a profitless task, if such it be, or add to its utility, if indeed it possesses any, I will not attempt to make one.
