The Elements of Ethics
An Introduction to Moral Philosophy (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Elements of Ethics: An Introduction to Moral Philosophy<br><br>This book was written in 1891 with a special view to the wants and difficulties of students for whom there was at that time far less easily available assistance than there fortunately is in the present year of grace. In issuing a new edition I have had to encounter the difficulty of trying to bring it as far as possible up to date without at the same time altering it out of all recognition as an elementary manual. Through the kindness of Mr. Murray I have been delivered from the difficulty of having to consider the exigencies of stereotype plates - for an author anything but a leaden rule - and have thus been enabled to rewrite large portions besides introducing many detailed alterations. The chief additions will be found in the middle and in the Appendices at the end of the book.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
