THE ELEMENTS OF MORAL SCIENCE. By FRANCIS 

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

 Moral Philosophy. Fortieth Thousand. 12rao. 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. 



From Rev. Wilbur Fisk, President of the W^ele^an University. 



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

 and 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 

 work, 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 c-f my 

 ethical treatise, in which our duties to God and to our fellow-men arc 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 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 

 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." Jliblical 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 aitd 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." 



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 2o cents. 



The more effectually to meet the desire expressed for a cheap edition, the present edition is issued 

 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 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-ivrittvn. 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'a 

 ibility 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 knowri 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 goodness, should be a branch of education, not onlv in our colleges, but in our 

 schools and academies, we believe will not be denied. TYie 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 

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

 >n* j,e duties owed to society, the second with the duties owed to God. and wbo can 

 roreteil 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.
