Publisher description
Excerpt from Modern Fancies and Follies: Considered Upon the Basis of Human Nature, Containing an Exposition of the Principal Causes Which Produce Human Suffering and Misery, and Prevent Man From Attaining True Happiness
The Fancies and Follies of the age, as considered in this volume, are the deviations which man has made, or would make, from truth, in regard to the subjects considered, thus violating the principles of his nature and defeating his own happiness. In considering the question of human nature, all mys tic and metaphysical abstractions have been care fully avoided, as having, in all ages, resulted in more abstruse error than they have educed practical truth. 'i have earnestly sought to divest myself of all prejudice, and all Opinions formed upon mere human authority, and to copy what I have written from the great book of nature as it is written by its Omnipotent Author. Whether I have been suc cessful or not, I feel conscious, at least, that I have brought earnestness and sincerity to the task, and the pleasure which I have derived from the inv esti gation of man has amply rewarded my labor.
