Excerpt from The Works of Hannah More, Vol. 2 It is a truth which might appear too obvious to require enforcing, and yet of all others it is a truth most liable to be practically forgotten, that the same subjugation of desire and will, of ih clinations and tastes, to the laws of reason and conscience, which every one wishes to see pro moted in the lowest ranks of society, is still more necessary in the very highest, in order to the attainment either of individual happiness, or of general virtue, to public usefulness, or to private self-enjoyment.
