** This work has been highly commended by Reviewers, Teachers, and others, and has 

 been adopted as a Class Book in most of the collegiate, theological, and academical institu. 

 lions of the country. 



I have examined it with great satisfaction and interest The work was greatly needed, and is well 

 xecuted. 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 for a text book in our university. REV. WILBUR FISK, late Pres. of Weslcyan University. 



The work has been read by me attentively and thoroughly, and I think very highly of it. The au- 

 thor 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, en- 

 ergy, and truth. HON. JAMES KENT, late Chancellor of New York. 



It Is a radical mistake, in the education 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 

 ritiate the whole system of morals. We have been greatly pleased with the method which President 

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

 tatement of his views, he unites perspicuity with conciseness and precision. In all the author's lead- 

 ing fundamental principles we entirely concur. Biblical Repository. 



This is a new work on morals, for academic use, and we welcome it with much satisfaction. It IB 

 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 prin- 

 ciples; and, being comprehensive andelementary in its plan, and adapted to the purposes of instruc- 

 tion, it will be gladly adopted by those who have for a long time been, dissatisfied with the existing 

 works of Paley. Literary and Theological Review. 



MORAL SCIENCE, ABRIDGED, by the Author, and adapted to the 

 Use of Schools and Academies. Thirty-fifth Thousand. 18mo, half cloth. Price 50 cts. 



ftj- The more effectually to meet the desire expressed for a cheap edition for schools, one 

 is now issued at the reduced price of 25 cents per copy ! and it is hoped thereby to extend the 

 benefit ot moral instruction 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 intro- 

 duced 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 rewritten. 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 teach- 

 ing moral philosophy, whether orally or by the book. Having listened to his instructions in this de- 

 partment, we can attest how lofty are the principles, how exact and severe the argumentation, how 

 appropriate and strong the illustrations, which characterize his system. Watchman and Reflector. 



The work of which this volume is an abridgment, is well known as one of the best and most com- 

 plete works on moral philosophy extant. The author is well known as one of the most profound 

 cholars 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 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. 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 rela- 

 tions it sustains to man and to its Maker, and who can foretell how many a sad and disastrous over- 

 throw of character will be prevented, and how elevated and pure will be the sense of integrity and
