Excerpt from A Treatise on the Moral Ideals In the Author's Introduction to the Exploratio Philosophica, the present treatise is alluded to in words to which I have already called attention in my Preface to his Examination of the Utilitarian Philosophy. After mentioning that he had contemplated publishing an answer to Mr J. S. Mill's Utilitarianism in the year 1863, he continues, 'I altered my mind as to this, and determined rather to put together in an uncontroversial form what seemed to me the truth, in opposition to what I thought error. This, if it please God, is in the way of being accomplished, subject to all the delays which interest in other employments, uncertain health, and some not, I think, uncalled for scrupulousness and anxiety as to what, one writes on a subject so important, may throw in the way of it.' The Exploratio itself was published in 1865, and the Author died in the summer of the following year. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
