Excerpt from The Domestic Circle, or Moral and Social Duties Explained and Enforced on Scriptural Principles, in a Series of Discourses In presenting this volume to the reader, it may be expedient to inform him, that it was not originally intended for public inspection; but was composed chiefly to methodise the writer's own views on the several topics embraced in the series. To him, these all appear to be vitally interesting questions, whether viewed in their relation to the pure morality of the Gospel, or in their bearings on the order and happiness of civil society.
