By this eulogium, we would by no means be under stood to fublcribe to all s he principles which these volumes contain. Knowledge i- net yet arrived at that degree oi certainty which is rcquifite, for any two men to tit ink a- Itke on ail ; neither that con fident accuracy, which can enable them to co.-ivey th4r thoughts, even when they f*o think alike, in a manner p*l fe&ly correA and intelligible to both. Th:fe difUcuiue* are onfy to be overcome by a patient, incelTant, and bene volent invefugatior., " Many of the opinions which this work contains, are bold; some of them are novsl; ana so ne doub'tlefs are er . roneous :—but that which ought to endear it even to those whose principle* it may offend, is the ttrength of argu ment adduced in it to prove, that peace and order moil ef fectually promote thehappinefs after which political re formers are panting ;—-that as the progress of knowledge is gradual, political reform ought not to be precipitate ; — and that convulsive violenfcc'is dangerous not only to indi- (for that svfult comparatively would be of small account) but to the general cause of truth. It is the op poiiteof this principle that inffircc the enemies of politic al enquiry with so much terror ; it is the supposition tha> change must inevitably be attended by the turbulence and injustice of commotion; and that innovation cannot be made without the inter v.rr ion of evils more deftru&ive than those which are intended to be reformed. Under the conviction of this philanthropic i'entiment, of calm and gradual reform, (whichin its proper place he hus-fully il lustrated) Mr. Godwin proceeds without scruple firft to en quire into present «vil, through itseflcntial branches, and next to demonstrate future good. " Dividing his work into eight books, and making the IMPORTANCE or POLITICAL INSTITUTIONS the fubjedt of the firft, he begins by an attempt to prove th?, omnipo tence of government over the moral habits of mankind; and tfeit on thefemoral habits their wisdom, virtue and felicity depend." 1 -- received by the publishers at their Printing Office, back of No. 77 Dock-street, Philadelphia.
