This volume, like most textbooks on morals, has its origin in a course of instruction given by the author, in his regular college duties. Pupils who have listened to the lectures, naturally desire them in a permanent form; and in deference to this want, very generally expressed, and often urged, they are now submitted for publication, essentially as given to the classes.
