Dr. Whewellʼs work ought to be read, because it can not be read without advantage: the age requires such books.—London Athenæum.
A text-book of simple truths, from which, by induction, a complete system of morality is constructed, applicable to all the relations and circumstances of life, and embracing every department of human action. The reader who shall carefully study these volumes—and a more inviting page, clear and legible, the eye does not often rest upon—will find his labor more than rewarded.—New York Commercial Advertiser.
Professor Whewellʼs “Elements of Morality” have been universally received in England as a contribution of rare value to the department of moral and political science.—Baltimore American.
A splendid production by one of the most distinguished of the scientific men of the age. This is a book, not to be read merely, but to be re-perused and patiently studied, we have heard it pronounced by no mean critic the most complete and lucid work on ethical philosophy ever produced. We commend this work to the especial notice of thinkers and readers, to scholars and schools generally, as a most admirable text-book—Sun.
