Excerpt from Lectures on the History of Moral PhilosophyI have pointed out freely both Mr Bentham's merits and his defects in this department: for instance, in the Classification of Offenses I have pointed out that his method produces cross divisions of the subject, cumbrous and shapeless appendages to the regular members of his classification, and the absence of obvious places for some of tho most common offenses, as Fraud, Breach of Contract, Debt. I do not know that any of Benthara's admirers have attempted to show that his system does not labour under these defects: indeed he himself allows it. I have attempted also to show how these defects may be avoided.The Dissertations of Dugald Stewart and of Mackintosh on the history of Moral Philosophy go over much of the same ground as my Lectures: but still I hope that the reflexions which the perusal of our English moralists has suggested to me, may have some interest for those who trace the progress of moral opinions and principles among men.Of the kind of interest which such a view of the subject may excite, a curious example has recently appeared in a volume which has drawn much notice entitled Essays and Reviews.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Reform of Philosophy, which all who are alive to such errours, must see to be now indispensable. To you I may most justly inscribe a work which contains a criticism of the fallacies of the ultra-L ockian school. I will mention one other reason which enters into the satisfaction with which I place your name at the head of my Philosophy. By doing so, I may consider myself as dedicating it to the College to which we both belong, to which we both owe so much of all that we are, and in which we have lived together so long and so happily; and that, be it remembered, the College of Bacon and of Newton. That College, I know, holds a strong place in your affections, as in mine; and among many reasons, not least on this account; we believe that sound and enduring philosophy ever finds there a congenial soil and a fostering shelter. If the doctrines which the present work contains be really true and valuable, my unhesitating trust is, that they will spread gradually from these precincts to every part of the land. That this office of being the fosterer and diffuser of truth may ever belong to our common Nursing Mother, and that you, my dear Sedgwick, may long witness and contribute to these beneficial influences, is the hearty wish of Yours affectionately, W.
