Synopsis

Whether;, in thus innovating upon estahlished usage, the writer has acted judiciously or otherwise, the event must determine. He has not, however, transgressed without adequate motive; having done so under the belief that, as it is the purpose of a book to influence con duct, the best way of writing a book must be the way best fitted to effect this purpose. Should exception be taken to the manifestations of feeling now and then met with, as out of place in a treatise having so scientific a title; it is replied that, in their present phase of progress, men are but little swayed by purely intellectual con siderations that to be operative, these must be enforced by direct or implied appeals to the sentiments and that, provided such appeals are not in place of, but merely supple mentary to, the deductions of logic, no well-grounded objection can be made to them.
