Excerpt from Ethics of Theism: A Criticism and Its Vindication The second part of this volume, accordingly, con sists of an Ethical Treatise, which is a development of the Author's principles, and which may therefore be regarded as a vindication of the criticism contained in the first part. The criticism of the Seven Dialogues might with justice be regarded as lame and defective, unless it were to be followed up by an attempt to elucidate the Ethical Criterion. Without this, the Author would expose himself to the charge of rashly entering on a line of investigation which he had not courage to pursue - of putting his hand to the plough, and looking back. The determination of the Ethical Criterion would settle a goodly number of subordinate questions, in cluding some of those discussed in the Dialogues. We are also aware that in our ethical disquisition we touch on other and deeper problems of philosophy to which due attention is demanded at our hands; but this at tention must be reserved for a future opportunity, as also an exegetical examination of the word of God. The inquirer after truth will only be satisfied when he finds in actual detail that each deduction of reason, whether in metaphysics or ethics, is in harmony with the doctrines of Christianity, as determined by strictest interpretation of the texts of the Bible.
