THE MORALITY OF NATIONS A STUDY IN THE EVOLUTION OF ETHICS BY HUGH TAYLOR LONDON KEGAN PAUL, TRENCH & CO., 1, PATERNOSTER SQUARE 1888 08-7-50 7-1-38 PREFACE. IT is with much diffidence that this work is presented to the scientific world. Yet the author is sustained by the conviction that no inquiry into the course of nature can be without its value, if only it has been conducted with patience and honesty. When this is the case, there is some hope that a part of the truth at least may have been ascertained and may survive in spite of defects of presentation. |
