THE ELEMENTS OF MOKAL SCIENCE. By FRANCIS 

 WAYLAXD, D.D. President of Brown University, and Professor of 

 Moral Philosophy. Thirty-sixth Thousand. 12mo. cloth. Price $1.25. 



* =K * This work has been extensively and favorably reviewed and adopted as a class-book 

 in most of the collegiate, theological, and academical institutions of the country. 



From Rev. Wilbur Fisk, President of the Wesleyan University. 



" I have examined it with great satisfaction and interest. The work was greatly needed, 

 and is well executed. Dr. \Vayland deserves the grateful acknowledgments and liberal 

 patronage of the public. I need say nothing further to express my high estimate of the 

 work, than that we shall immediately adopt it as a text-book in our university." 



From Hon. James Kent, late Chancellor of Xew York. 



" The work has been read by me attentively and thoroughly, and I think very highly of 

 it. The author himself is one of the most estimable of men, and I do not know of any 

 ethical treatise, in which our duties to God and to our fellow-men are laid down with more 

 precision, simplicity, clearness, energy, and truth." 



" The work of Dr. Wayland has arisen gradually from the necessity of correcting the 

 false principles and fallacious reasonings of Puley. It is a radical mistake, in the educa- 

 tion of youth, to permit any book to be used by students as a text-book, which contains 

 erroneous doctrines, especially when these are fundamental, and tend to vitiate the whole 

 system of morals. We have been greatly pleased with the method which President Way- 

 land has adopted ; he goes back to the simplest and most fundamental principles ; and, in 

 the statement of his views, he unites perspicuity with conciseness and precision. In all 

 the author's leading fundamental principles we entirely concur." Biblical Repository. 



" This is a new work on morals, for academic use, and we welcome it with much satis- 

 faction. It is the result of several years' reflection and experience in teaching, on the part 

 of its justly distinguished author ; and if it is not perfectly what we could wish, yet, in the 

 most important respects, it supplies a want which has been extensively felt. It is, we 

 think, substantially sound in its fundamental principles ; and being comprehensive and 

 elementary in its plan, and adapted to the purposes of instruction, it will be gladly adopted 

 by those who have for a long time been dissatisfied with the existing works of Paley."

MOKAL SCIENCE, ABRIDGED, by the Author, and adapted 

 to the use of Schools and Academies. Twenty-fifth Thousand. 18mo. 

 half morocco. Price 50 cents. 



"V The attention of Teachers and School Committees, and all interested in the moral 

 training of youth is invited to this valuable work. It has received the unqualified 

 approbation of all who have examined it ; and it is believed to be admirably adapted to 

 exert a wholesome influence on the minds of the young, and lead to the formation of cor- 

 rect moral principles. 



" Dr. Wayland has published an abridgment of his work, for the use of schools. Of 

 this step we can hardly speak too highly. It is more than time that the study of moral 

 philosophy should be introduced into all our institutions of education. We are happy to 

 see the way so auspiciously opened for such an introduction. It has been not merely 

 abridged, but also re-written. We cannot but regard the labor as well bestowed." North 

 American Review. 



" We speak that we do know, when we express our high estimate of Dr. Wayland's 

 ability in teaching Moral Philosophy, whether orally or by the book. Having listened to 

 his instructions, in this interesting department, we can attest how lofty are the principles, 

 how exact and severe the argumentation, how appropriate and strong the illustrations 

 which characterize his system and enforce it on the mind." The Christian Witness. 



" 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 gooi/ness, 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.
