THE ELEMENTS OF MORAL SCIENCE. By FRANCIS 

 WAT**iM>, D.D. President of Brown University, and Professor of 

 Moral Philosophy. Fortieth Thousand. 12mo. cloth. Price $1.25. 



%* 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. 



Jiev. Wilbur Fisk, President of tfie W^sleyan University. 



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

 *nd is well executed. Dr. Wayland deserves the grateful acknowledgments and liberal 

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

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



From Hon. James Kent, late Chancellor of New 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 *ry 

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

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



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

 false principles and fallacious reasonings of Paley. It is a radical mistake, in tho ed'ira- 

 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 al] 

 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 tho 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." 



The Literary and Theological 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 desire expressed for a cheap edition, the present edition is Ugued 

 at the reduced price of 25 cents per copy, and it is hoped thereby to extend the benefit of moral in- 

 struction to all the youth of our land. Teachers and all others engaged in the training of youth, are 

 invited to examine this work. 



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

 gee the wav so auspiciously opened for such an introduction. It has been not merely 

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

 American Review. 



"We speak that we do know, when we express our high estimate of Dr. Wayland't 

 ibility in teaching Moral Philosophy, whether orally or by the book. Having liste'ned to 

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

 how exact and severe the argumentation, how appropriate and strong the illustration! 

 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 

 meet 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 goodness, should be a branch of education, not only in our colleges, but in oar 

 chools and academies, we believe will not be denied. The abridgment of this work 

 teems to us admirably calculated, for the purpose, and we hope it will be extensively 

 applied to the purpos'es for *which it is intended." The Mercantile Journal. 



"We hail the abridgment as admirably adapted to supply the deficiency which ha long 

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

 -7 be taught the relations it sustains to man and to its Maker, the first acquainting il 

 j?,-r*. *f, e duties owed to society, the second with the duties owed to God, and who cjui 

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

 levatod and pure will be the sens* of integrity and virtue ? " Evening Gaoett*.
