1742. Although the main practical principles, which are repeated in this treatise, have this prejudice in their favor, that they have been taught and propagated by the best of men in all ages, yet there is reason to fear that renewed treatises upon subjects so often well managed may be looked upon as superfluous. In this essay, the proofs and illustrations of this point that we have a moral sense, and a sense of honor by which we discern an immediate good in virtue and honor, are not much insisted on since they have been laid down in previous treatises. Due to the age and scarcity of the original we reproduced, some pages may be spotty, faded or difficult to read. Old English text.
