WAT^.VK, D.I). President of Brown University, and Professor of 

 Mora! I'hilo: -epliy. . "rtieth Thousand. 12mo. cloth. Price $1.35 



%* This work has been extensively aud favorably reviewed and adop^-l as a clas.-i>0sir 

 bi most of the collegiate, theological, and academical institutions of the coxmtry. 



From Rev. Wilbur Fisk, President o f tlx W ,elv> an Onivertitti. 



" I have examined it with grtut satisfaction and interest. The work was greatly necdtcL 

 tad ii well executed. Dr. Wayland deserves the grateful acknowledgments and libf.raJ 

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

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



From Hon. James Kent, late Chance/lor of yew York. 



" The work has been rend by me attentively and thoroughly, and I think very higtlT cl 

 It, The author himself is one of the most estimable of men, and I do not know :f \r * 

 ethical treatise, in which onr duties to God and to our fellow-men arc laid down with no< 

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



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

 false principles and fallacious reasonings of Paley. 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 

 erroneo'us 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 

 <he statement of his views, he unites perspicuity with conciseness and precision. In oil 

 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 ; aud 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." 



The Literary and Theoloifical Review. 



MORAL SCIENCE, ABRIDGED, by the Author, and adapted 

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

 half cloth. Price 25 cents. 



The more effectually to meet the degire expressed for a cheap edition, the present edition is ismied 

 at the reduced price of '25 cents per copy, and it is hoped thereby to extend the benefit of rnoiiU ;u- 

 truction to all the youth of rur land. TY-.ichers and all others enraged in the training of youth, are 

 invited to examine this work. 



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

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

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

 ee 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." Worth 

 Aniencan Review. 



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

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

 ills instructions, in this interesting department, we can atte-st how lofty are the prineiplef, 

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

 which characterize his system and enforce it on the mind." The Christian lYlt>u>ss. 



" The work of which this volume is an abridgment, is well known as one of the best ani 

 raoet complete works on Moral Philosophy extant. The author is well known as one ul 

 the most profound scholars of the age. That the study of Moral Science, a science which 

 teaches gooilneas, should be a branch of education, not only in our colleges, but in our 

 schools and academies, we believe will not be denied. Trie abridgment of this work 

 teems 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 lout 

 felt in common school education, the study of moral obligation. Let the cuila 

 be taught the relations it sustains to man and to its Maker, the first acquainting it 

 the duties owed to society, the second with the duties owed to God, and wbc CSB 

 how many a sad and -disastrous overthrow of character will be prevented, and 

 and pure will b *Jie sense of integrity and virtue ?" Evening Ga-jett.
