The Principles Of Moral And Political Philosophy 13th Ed

Excerpt from The Principles of Moral and Political Philosophy I am led to propose these strictures not by any propensity to depreciate the labours of my predecessors, much less to invite a comparison between the merits of their performances and my own; but solely by the consideration, that when a writer offers a book to the public, upon a subject _on which the public are already in possession of many others, he is bound by a kind of literary justice to inform his readers, distinctly and Specifically, what it is he professes to supply, and what he expects to improve.
