Abstract:
My purpose in bringing it before you can only be to refresh
our minds on a subject of importance, apt to be somewhat overlooked
in the rush of politics around us.
It is a subject on which a great deal of learning can be brought
to bear, from theories of high philosophy, to the numerical arguments
of statistics; but it can also be approached from points of
view which involve no learning beyond such as may be acquired by
most of us, who in the homely duties of life gain some practical
knowledge of human nature.
From such a standpoint the discussion must consist chiefly in
generalizing from those principles and tendencies of human conduct
which everyday life tests and illustrates.
