MORALS AND SOCIETY. 

 CHAPTER I. 



THE MORAL BASIS OF A TRUE SOCIETY. 



The Law of Life Human Disorder Man a Social Being Upward Tend- 

 encies of Humanity Natural Conscience Perception of Justice The 

 Laws of Morality Simple and Self-Evident Morality the Basis of a. 

 True Society The Morality of the Bible War and Peace. 



IN the preceding portions of this work I have described the 

 actual condition of man in the highest civilisation to which he 

 has attained; have considered the matter and forces which 

 compose the material world and the phenomena of life; have- 

 briefly described the organisation of the human body and its 

 functions; have written, I trust, without offence to any reader,. 

 of the most important and vital laws of generation ; and 

 lastly, and I hope profitably to many, of health, disease, and 

 cure. I have now to speak, as clearly as I can, and briefly as- 

 I must, of the principles and laws of morals and society, or 01 

 that social organisation and life which is natural to man, and is. 

 therefore necessary to his best welfare and his highest happiness. 

 I do not need to prove I have only to state the self-evident 

 proposition that all the conditions of the life of man should be 

 such as he is by his nature, or physical and moral constitution, 

 adapted to, in harmony with, and fitted to enjoy. Something 

 of this I have shown in the chapters on the conditions of health 

 and the causes of disease.
